C6250 naming devices on network
I cannot seem to name the devices on the network at any given time. I am using the Nighthawk app. I can tell how many devices are on, and some have names, but even the phones that have been named on the devices themselves don't show up as those names on the app. The issue seems unrelated to whether it is an apple or other device. Please advise. I have already checked the firmware version and am up to date. In the past, when we named the devices themselves it used to show up on the Nighthawk app as those names.

Re: C6250 naming devices on network
Be sure to disable any WIFI Private IP address on apple devices:
Select on a device and look for a pen or pencil icon on this page and touch it, may open a edit dialog for the device.
Can you setup IP address reservations on the modem for your devices and then give new names for them here using a connected PC and web page?

Android? iOS?
Tried setting them in "Attached devices" on the browser graphical user interface (GUI)
