How can I force my TP LINK N600 router to update the hostnames in the DHCP table?
I've updated a few hostnames on devices to make them more understandable but the leases stay the same and the router resolves them with the old name.
Windows server would let me use scavenging, but I'm just using the routers built in DHCP server.

There should be an option in the list of DHCP leases the thing knows about to tell it "delete this lease". Turn the machine off, do that, then turn it back on.
Also demote that piece of junk to an access point and get a pfsense box.

Doesn't seem to be anything about deleting leases?
I know, I apologise profusely. Not my purchasing choice...

look in the client list. Failing that change the address lease time to one minute. You might still have to wait for the current two-hour leases to expire. Remember to change it back after you've got things where you want them.

Yeah I've set the lease time to 5 minutes. But the renew gives the same IP because it's the same MAC address - which means it doesn't seem to check for an update of the hostname?
Clients list literally just shows a table of:
ID, Client Name, MAC address, IP address, Valid Time
Doesn't let you delete anything.
There is a tab for ARP List, but deleting from there doesn't seem to do anything either?

isn't there some facility for a static lease? that is, "always give MAC address X IP address Y, don't just pluck something out of the DHCP IP pool"

There's an address reservation tab yes - screenshot.
(There's also a conditional pool tab, not that that will probably help)
upgrade to openwrt
it makes things like that 10x easier
