I cannot rename the attached devices. When editing the device name I enter what I want it to display and I get an error routerlogin device name not valid. I used to be able to change the device names in my nighthawk app. This apparently is not available any longer. I have also changed device names via the router login with no issue. Has something changed or is there another way to rename these devices?

    Where are you trying? The browser graphical user interface (GUI) and the mobile app?

     

    I am a great fan of the desktop genie for things like that.
