Where's the benefit here if I type 192.168.1.1 or some domain name when connecting the router with the network cable ? Fanciness ? I mean the IP is even less characters to type.
Ease of configuration ? Because even if I type the domain name, my connection has to be in the same subnet already manually or via DHCP, since the domain resolves 192.168.1.1.
I guess some manager scored a big raise for this gem.
- kelnos 10y agoBecause your average user doesn't know what an IP address is and might be confused by directions that use one. Then again, a decent amount of people don't know what a hostname is, either, and find everything through Google anyway.
