Configure your local DNS server settings.
Configure your local DNS server settings.
Hello! You're using a TP-Link Archer C59 router with a USB port for storage. You're setting up a personal cloud setup, connecting to a DDNS service, and need an internal network IP within your local network. Your idea was to run a local DNS server on the router, avoiding the need for a separate computer. You've tried SSH access but encountered permission issues, and when you attempt to log in with web credentials, you get specific error messages about channel allocation failures. You're looking for advice or a solution to get your internal DNS running smoothly.
It's unclear if this approach would be effective, but you could repurpose an old Android device as a DNS server.
That sounds like a solid plan! I’ll look for an older Android device to try it out. I’m excited to experiment with my router too!
You're definitely familiar with the process, but I didn't realize I hadn't thought about it before. Appreciate the advice!
