However I've had this router for a LONG time (I'm now on the lastest official Beta). I might have had to enter the names for the devices myself a long time ago? However it is possible I didn't need too? Reason is the KINDLE above. I wouldn't have left it with that name, especially the numbers behind it?

 

In any event, I think you CAN enter meaningful information for Device Name under ADVANCED --> SECURITY --> ACCESS CONTROL. There you can select a device and EDIT it's name:

See picture.  They used to.  I was wondering if the router picks up name.  I had them before but now they don't.Capture.JPG

    Reset the Router (hidden button recessed on back, hold it down until the power light flashes) and re-enter all your settings, maybe that willl fix it?

     

    Might work if you export the settings, reset, and import.

     

    Could also try the beta and see if it works
