change Device Name

[jaholstein]

On my ATT router on the device list - My RN104 shows as 

          IPv4 Address / Name 192.168.1.10 / unknown28c68e353fc8

How can I get it to show

          IPv4 Address / Name 192.168.1.10 / ReadyNAS104

Thanks, Jim

I think this is really an ATT router question.  The NAS is advertising its hostname, but the ATT router isn't using that in it's attached device list.

Many routers will let you manually enter a device name, and will remember that name across reboots, etc - it is generally bound to the mac address of the device.

YES that is what I've found on the ATT community board.

The problem is that THIS SPECIFIC router does not allow a substitute name.
