RAX70 router problem with Readyshare

Since updating to the latest firmware I can no longer have separate names for the Ready Share and the actual router. Previously my network drive was called FILE1 and the device ROUTER. 

 

Now, for some reason, if I click on edit to change the network drive name, it redirects me to the device renaming section, and then doesn't overwrite the existing name, so currently after a reset I'm stuck with the name Readyshare.

 

I have tried dropping down the firmware but still having the same problem now.

    Where are you trying to "click on edit to change the network drive name"?

     

    \\readyshare is, by design, the local address of the storage on your network.

     

    Have you used that label for something else?
