Reach Hotspot via http://pi-star

Post by DO1ZAC »

Hello everyone,

when I bought my first pi-star hotspot, you could just type "http://pi-star" in the browser and reach the dashboard.

Now, I've built my own hotspot and I have to look up the ip address in the router everytime I want to access the pi-star interface.
I know I could assign a static IP-address but I would really like to set my hotspot up the same way as the commercial one, so I don't have to type in the long numeric address everytime.

If someone knows how to set this up, I would be very grateful for sharing it with me.

Thanks in advance

73, DO1ZAC

Try http://pi-star.local

Local DNS addresses don't work on Android however.
