hosts
Even if you didn't install LuCI is nice to have
ssh root@tplinklogin.netThis feature lets you access LuCI pointing your browser to http://tplinklogin.net
Editing /etc/hosts file
Not recommended, because dnsmasq runs as nobody and /etc is reserved for root access.
echo 192.168.1.1 tplinklogin.net >> /etc/hosts
Adding UCI domain
uci add dhcp domain uci set dhcp.@domain[-1].name=tplinklogin.net uci set dhcp.@domain[-1].ip=192.168.1.1 uci commit dhcp
Using LuCI WebUI
- Press the [Add] button.
- Complete the fields:
| Hostname | IP address |
| tplinklogin.net | 192.168.1.1 |
- Press the [Save & Apply] button.
