5.1: New Limitation for User Friendly Device Names
Why on earth has NTGR changed the rules for defining user friendly device names starting from 5.1?
What hits me most is the fact that the "-" is a valid characters for DNS, so one can put in valid DNS names - this possibility is gone now. Obvious a non-qualified restriction by non-IT people!
Explain please: Where can we find these kind of changes in documentation and release / change notes?
What is the risk of having dozens of names with the now invalid "-"?
Can we expect this limitation will be updated soon again?

Re: 5.1: New Limitation for User Friendly Device Names
The odd part on the new limitation for the device name is that renaming does allow using the "-" in the device name. Proofed today during the Zoom session.
