Change Device Name on WNDR3700v5
Hello all,
Normally you can assign the device name under Advance>Setup>Lan Setup in the field "Device Name". Pretty basic.
However - when I set the router up as a Wireless Access Point, the device resorts back to the default device name (WNDR3700v5) and the "Lan Setup" becomes inaccessible.
So how can I get the router to use the device name that I had specified?
Thank you all in advance.

You'll probably need to leave it as default while in AP mode.
