length of name of attached devices
Can Netgear PLEASE allow us to use names for attached devices that are long than 15 characters? 15 characters is, frankly, amateur hour. As is forced capitalizing all the names that you were able to ...
Why do you need a long device name? Sorry, i just don't know why I'd like to have a long device name. I want things simple but if you can give me a nice reason then maybe I'd try that.
I gave you an example in the first post. And I am not making these up, I just wanted to copy the names from my Fingbox.
So for example, NetAtmo sensor (Upstairs Bedroom)
33 characters, and every one of them makes sense.
If you're living in an IoT world (which apparently Netgear is not) you will have LOTS of names like this. At least one longish part to identify the device type, another longish part to identify the location.
