Heloo, I was thinking that this issue is related with software I use on antiX ( pi vpn, pi hole, wireguard ) but it is not. So I opening new thread ( this may be bug issue )
For first 2 hours it is recognised by my router by bostname, after that as “(none)” and after 1 or 2 days dissapear completely. Versions I tested: antiX-19.2_x64-coreMay 28, 2020 at 1:28 am #36399Member

::This seems to be a dhcp problem. I have no experience with this, so you may have to wait for a more knowledgeable person to come help.
There are many things left out from your post. We have no idea how everything is set up on your system and how/where you assign a hostname.
pi hole should be the one to solve the dhcp issue, so maybe you need to look there.
https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-show-hostnames-instead-of-ip-addresses-in-the-dashboard/3530If after a while it dissapears, it may be that your antiX server is changing it’s local IP address. You may have to force the router (or maybe from inside antiX) to use a fixed/static IP address.
Truth is, I have no experience here. Many years ago I set a static IP address from the router, and assigned the name there, but I have no experience using any VPN or adblock or however you are using your antiX system.

When I write “but it is not” Iwas, meaning that I use pure distro on local machine without anything. It is no matter is it hostname or IP my router dont show it. Table looks like Hostname | IP if router cant read hostname it simply write IP afgain. But it not point IP or hostname, they dont appear by any.

::Something needs to manage the DHCP info.
This is what it looks in my router:

teclastx98plusii is my tablet that runs antiX 19 full. To connect to the internet I use connman.
antix1 is the laptop with a customized system built on antiX 19 core. It uses network-manager to connect to the router.
You propably use ceni to connect to the router. Maybe you have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file so your connection uses dhcp
https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Using_DHCP_to_automatically_configure_the_interfaceAs I said, this is probably a dhcp problem. Depending on what is used to connect to the router, you will have to check how to make sure dhcp info is updated. If ceni doesn’t work for you, you could install a different program. connman should work through the terminal, but I have little experience using and configuring it that way.
Hopefully someone who has used core as a server can explain how they did to configure dhcp
