naming devices on routers web interface?

[Gunner84]

Hi

Is it possible to name devices that show up on the network map page where it lists all devices connected via wired or wireless.

Some tell me already such as ipad but I have a few android and other devices that just show the IP address and I can never tell which is which!

Is it possible if so how?

thanks

Yes, you can, but on the fork you need to set it up manually. I use this method to replace the crazy name of my android tablet.

@Gunner84 Welcome to the fork

I should have mentioned that you can do the same thing via assigning a static ip if you don't want to play with the conf.add, but that was also referenced in the post.
