Unless your router assigns the same IP address each time you should
consider using static addressing. Some routers are able to assign
reserved IP addresses to devices based on the MAC address of the network
interface in the server.
Without that capability assign static IP addresses then the entries in
your /etc/hosts file will always be correct.
For a small home network maintaining /etc/hosts files is not a problem.
