set router hostname for the DD-WRT router itself
I'm trying to set the hostname of a DD-WRT router on that DD-WRT router. I can set other local hostnames (using Static Leases section) but adding the DD-WRT router hostname to it's own mapping of name → IP results in failed name lookups.
I'm able to set hostnames for other hosts on the local network. I did this using by adding entries under Static Leases (under Services → Services → Services Management → DHCP Server → Static Leases). Some other settings that might affect this are:
LAN Domain has string "mydomain"
Used Domain is "LAN & WLAN"
DNSMasq is Enable
Local DNS is Enable
Query DNS in Strict Order is Enable
For example, there is an Static Leases entry for "PC1". From a different local host I can successfully do
ping PC1.mydomain
Yet, a similar Static Leases entry "myrouter" exists for the LAN MAC of the DD-WRT router (yes, I am aware the DD-WRT LAN will not request a LAN-side IP via DHCP. The router has a static IP 192.168.1.1. I was trying this to achieve parity with the successful case).
I unsuccessfully tried adding to Additional DNSMasq Options
local=/mydomain/
expand-hosts
Then I restarted dnsmasq
$ stopservice dnsmasq
$ startservice dnsmasq
Yet, name lookup for myrouter.mydomain still fails
$ ping myrouter.mydomain
ping: myrouter.mydomain: Name or service not known
Oddly, I did not have this name lookup problem before a recent upgrade of the DD-WRT router.

In section Additional DNSMasq Options (under Services → Services → Services Management → DHCP Server → Static Leases), add the following line
address=/myrouter.mydomain/192.168.1.1
Suggestion is from this old forum post Associate Host Name with IP or MAC Address..Is it Possible? at forum.dd-wrt.com.
