Thanks @OzarkEdge
I have about 90 devices on my network. Was a pain to get them all identified. Before I reset everything, what's the easiest way to preserve all my custom names? Shut off router 2 and 3, let everything migrate to primary router and then do a backup? I've never actually used the backup/restore so does it preserve all the names?
Thanks
Given your prior firmware experiments, the presumption is that you need to reset your routers after installing the desired firmware and then reconfigure from scratch to establish a clean slate. If you intend to do this, you should not restore an old configuration.
As for naming devices within the router GUI, the tools available are primitive, so it is advisable to limit this housekeeping to as few devices as is deemed necessary, if any. Instead, consider keeping your own device/MAC address cross-reference.
