Hello, since I used openwrt to set hostnames (like 192.168.188.73 is lab-dell) I'm forced to use the router gateway as dns (in my case 192.168.188.2). I've got three different ISP and I use batch scripts to change between them but when I set a static IP address in windows (to change gateway) I'm forced to set a DNS server ip (in this field I can put the Openwrt gateway ip) and an alternative one, but I don't know what should I put in here since I only got one address and adding another dns server here (like 1.1.1.1) results in hostnames not working.
Just leave it empty, it´s not mandatory.

I tried before but hostnames do not work with this setup
The dns server is configured correctly on windows
Are you saying lab-dell isn't 192.168.188.73?
It seems as if it's working to me.
Is this the OpenWrt or another device?
Does ping lab-dell.lan work? If it does, you probably need to configure the DNS search domain.

Took me a while to find this setting in my Windows VM, it's been a while since I had to configure it last time. It's called "Append DNS suffix":
I have no idea what the option "Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes" acutally does.
EDIT: Maybe the last line edit, DNS suffix for this connection: is sufficient if you add "lan" to it. Leave the radio box at the default "Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes"
