I vote for this feature as well! 

 

I bought the deco x60 without asking myself that this function could not be available.
It is a basic function for these devices, I am really disappointed

I ended up switching Deco into an Access Point mode and use it in combination with an external non-wifi router.

 

Despite TP-Link marketing efforts, Deco isn't a good choice as a main router IMO, especially for those people who know meaning of the words like DNS or DHCP.

Don't get me wrong, I like my Deco and I admit it has a pretty good WiFi unit, but as a router it's... eeh... - too simple and too "plug-n-play" to be taken seriously.

No hostname resolving, no SSH, no way to customize firewall etc etc.

@segaura 

try name.local. It works with devices that support mDNS. E.g. Linux devices needs avahi daemon.

I would also like to add my support to having this basic functionality available on Deco routers.
