TODO didn't manage to get it working with <Ciro Santilli's hardware/TP Link ARCHER VR2800> even though it shows DHCP as enabled and it also shows <MAC addresses> and corresponding hostnames in the router management interface.


Connect to other computer in LAN by hostname with DHCP

Manual: https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/archer-vr2800/ In particular, the user guide: https://static.tp-link.com/1910012125_Archer%20VR2800(EU)_V1_UG.pdf

Admin IP address: http://192.168.1.1/ It also works over <Wifi> and people don't know how to disable that: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/1460

Giving that a try because the Talktalk router is shit, Wifi is way too weak. Produced a great improvement over two doors, way more than the previously bought tp-link repeater!

<MAC addresses>
* <Ethernet> 9c:53:22:17:e2:0e
* <Wi-Fi>: 9c:53:22:17:e2:0e
TODO same for both?
