Hi all, I do the following on my network. First I restrict all WIFI access by MAC address. This prevents un-authorised devices from joining even if they managed to obtain my WAP key. This also allows me to reserver specific IP addresses for certain devices, rather then just letting DHCP assign one form a pool. Since I effectively set the IP address on the router and can now map that name on my local DNS server to any hostname I like.
