R7000: Device Name / Access Control
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. Mind you, this is exactly the bug/feature I was searching for in the R7000. I've a R7000 at F/W 1.0.5.48_1.1.79. The inability to assign device names of my choosing had me bummed. The consensus in the community is that it cannot be done. Here's something I have found that works for me, and seems to be persistent through router / device / network rebooting. From the Basic tab, select "Attached Devices". You'll see a link above the refresh button "Go to Access Control to allow or block devices." Go to Access Control and check "Turn on Access Control". Then, check a device you want to edit and just edit the Device Name. Click "Apply >". That's it. Doesn't look like it breaks anything else... so far (I've been using this "feature" for a few months).Solved15KViews1like9Comments
