Model: Deco XE75 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I recently bought a Deco XE75 Pro. It seems great except that local DNS resolution will only intermittently work. In the app, I see that the Decos know the name of all the computers on the network so that's not the issue. This is a basic function that has worked on every single other router I've ever used. From other posts in the forum about older models it seems like this is a glaring omission from the Deco's firmware. If $20 router manufacturers can figure this out, how come TP Link think they can charge an order of magnitude more and not implement local DNS resolution?

If, by "local DNS resolution", you mean "resolution of local names by the DNS server of the Deco", I believe it never works.

 

Resolution of local names is usually not done via DNS, but by local protocols such as bonjour or netbios.
