How to change login system name?

[Mxyzptlk]

When I go to the WRT-Merlin login page, my wireless router's model is shown in big letters right under Sign In, like this:

Sign In

RT-AX3000

Sign in with your ASUS router account

Username:
Password:


Is there some way to change this so that the router model isn't shown? I've searched high and low and I haven't found it yet. TIA

This login page is not user customizable.

I would assume that it reads the value from the nvram variable

nvram dump|grep AX88U

model=RT-AX88U
build_name=RT-AX88U
computer_name=RT-AX88U

But changing it, or erasing it, would or could have very unexpected results as I'm sure it is required elsewhere.
More curious as to why it is an issue to begin with? If you don't want anyone to know the router model, don't give them access to the UI page.

Personally, I think it would be great to have a configurable variable or text on the page to make it easier to differentiate which system you are logging into. Can't say I've looked into any options as at the moment I only have 3 routers and they are all different models, but I can see where it would be handy (I do this for my NAS boxes)

Could the router model be hidden? Possibly. But it would either involve blocking it at the browser level using something like Ublock Origin if there isn't a way to have the browser itself (absent any extention/addon) doing it. Example Ublock Origin filter: 192.168.50.1##.prod_madelName Or by modifying the firmware /www/Main_Login.asp file to strip out or hide the DIV tag. Example tag: <div class="prod_madelName">RT-AX86U Pro</div>
Unknown if changing the Main_Login.asp file would survive a reboot.

But the real question is why? Why would one want to hide or remove the router name from the login page.
