Accepted Add local DNS server to ER605
Please add a local DNS server, like dnsmasq, to the ER605. It's a bug for a business router that's running DHCP to not be able to resolve local host names.

@hammer86 Hello, yes I did set the "Primary DNS" field in my DHCP server to point to my local DNS server. But it did not resolve.
I used another router, an ERLite-3 Router, immediately set it up and it works like a charm. Sucks to see that a TPLink router which cost $144 in my country doesnt have basic SMB features like CLI, local DNS forwarder. Very dissappointed

Guys can you even read ? This thread is about a DNS server embedded in the OMADA router, so take your questions elsewhere (on how to configure external DNS address).

Hello @Fae
could you tell us if there is any progress regarding local dns. (in reference to https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/546202 post #3)
Thanks and Greetings

@Fae +1 for the update.
I ended up running pihole as DHCP server, which is just absurd considering I spent over 500$ in enterprise level equipement.
It saddens me, but if TP Link does not care about this I'll be forced to switch to Unifi.

I don't use cloud services so that's not really a problem.
It's true that you overpay in Unifi but at least you get a system with all the basics implemented.
And since when is this off topic? TP Link is failing to provide a base functionality and ignoring everyone that is asking for it so why would you not look at alternatives?

Can we get feedback from someone at TP-Link about this please?
I cannot believe a company this size would release a router designed for SME and Home/Office Environments without local DNS capabilities.
Surely it doesnt take much to add this feature!
