Question about device names on Nighthawk X6 R8000
Hey everyone, so I reinstalled Windows the other day and upgraded to an m.2 ssd, and was setting up my port forwards and such and I had a question regarding the device name. In the advanced LAN setup, I have the correct device name set up for static IP, in port forwarding I have all of the ports on the correct IP, but under connected devices, the IP shown has the wrong device name (the name of the old install). Is this an issue?
