When I look under "Attached Devices" in the router I see a lot of device names which have a meaningless names for me
like android-2637812647862. By checking the MAC adres or the IP adress at that devices i can find out which devices it is.
But it would be nice that i can change the name of these devices in my router, is that possible ???
i already installed the app "genie" on my smartphone. And there i can changed the names, but the router wil not take over these names.
the router which i have is: WNDR4500 – N900

Re: rename Attached Devices
Welcome to the community, @niekn
If you see Access Control feature under Security, you may change the device name there by turning on the feature.
Or see Address Reservation feature.

Re: rename Attached Devices
When you turn on Access Control and select the device, do you see Edit to be available for you to edit the device name?

Re: rename Attached Devices
Oh, do you have the latest firmware installed?
If you already have and still unable to see Edit then it cannot be changed.
