Can someone please remind me the format and where to hardcode hostname/Mac addresses in the web GUI. Thanks

GUI>Services>Services in "Additional Dnsmasq Options", lines like
dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,192.168.1.90,SomeName
Pick an IP address NOT in your DHCP range, and of course stay clear of the router's own IP and clear of 0 and 255 in the last octet as well. You can add a DHCP lease time at the end if you like:
dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,192.168.1.90,SomeName,1440m
Or you can go the other way and leave out stuff:
dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,SomeName
This example will make sure the name of your choice appears on the status page, but it does not reserve a particular IP address. For more clarity on the options, google/DDG/Startpage the "man page" for DNSMasq and find dhcp-host.
Many forum posts present only the longest option above, including lease time, but the man page says it isn't required, and on my routers with recent dd-wrt builds, the short versions have worked fine.

you can also use GUI>services>add
but SurprisedItWorks is much more convenient and fast way of doing it...
