From CLI (SSH/Telnet) do:

[drdedus]

thank you.
do i copy paste everything it will appear or only the static leases ?


listen-address=127.0.0.1,192.168.4.1
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.dnsmasq
strict-order
domain=home
dhcp-leasefile=/tmp/dnsmasq.leases
dhcp-lease-max=128
dhcp-option=br0,3,192.168.4.1
dhcp-authoritative
dhcp-range=br0,192.168.4.30,192.168.4.123,255.255.255.0,70m

and in the end...

bogus-priv
conf-file=/etc/rfc6761.conf
stop-dns-rebind
dhcp-option=252,"\n"
cache-size=1500

Just the leases.
They could also be copied to a text file stored at /jffs and called from there in Additional Dnsmasq Options:
conf-file=/jffs/dnsmasq.custom

Format should be:
dhcp-host=D8:77:67:GG:EC:05,pc1,192.168.1.100,infinite

thank you.
i will try it in the following days.

[drdedus]

i tried in a 841n v12 tp-link with the latest version
i noticed that not always immediately the router showed the name for the static lease but it needed time or it was lost the name after a while.
The ip address it was always the correct.
it was working until i noticed really high cpu usage 3-8 so i deleted and i done it in the "normal" way one by one.
Now i have to check if i will get again high cpu usage again in the next days to understand if the problem was from that.

And you don't need all the fields. I use lines like these:

dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,YY.YY.YY.YY,OurAppleTV
dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,OurRoku

The last one is not a static lease, as no IP address is specified. It just gives a name to the device for ease of reading the syslog and the list of DHCP Clients on the status page.

Google the dnsmasq man page for details on what's allowable. It's surprisingly flexible.

I have a thread bookmarked where all these options
were explained by @eibgrad but alas
we have lost all that.

My format is exactly as it shows in dnsmasq.conf when you have
set them up using GUI therefore is undeniably correct and will work.

If OP c/p's from old setup this is what they will look like.
And I cannot imagine how this has anything to do with high cpu usage.

And when you save them to a text file you can never lose them

I will bookmark this thread to replace the one that went junk.

[drdedus]

probably the high cpu usage was from the firmware.
i tried to go some firmware back to 44340 that i have a really old TP-Link TL-WR743ND v1 and the 841n v12 bricked
(the TP-Link TL-WR743ND v1 works "great")
