If I have taken the time to name every device in device manager, why is it okay to have different "device names" in the LAN section? Won't things become confusing or is it just a completely seperate section?

I'm sorry for not being more clear. I'm trying to give each device it's own address reservation. FireTv 192.168.1.54, ps5 192.168.1.55, laptop 192.168.1.56 for example. However, I can add them via the radio button, but when I tried to edit the device name so I could identify instead of blank, it gives bad request. I'm not touching anything else, just trying to give the device names. They already have names in the device manager, but when it pulls up a list of IPs you can add, there's only a few and the device name is - -.

Lately I have been trying to setup my network to have the same IP's on all devices in my home to make it easier to manage. However, sometimes I can find the device in the LAN setup and address reservation list, however it will have an IP and a MAC address to help me identify it, but sometimes the name of the device is just --. Now when I try to add it first, I don't mess with anything other than add and apply. However, when I want to edit the device name from just being blank, it always in someway or another gives me an error "400 Bad Request" and I have no idea what is acceptable and what guidelines are. How do I go about doing this properly so I can identify the proper devices and such in the list? Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to help me. I proceeded to do the ports like you said and it detects it now as high priority. Works great even though I do understand you're hinting more at using anti BB. I'm sorry to ask you to repeat it cause I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how anti BB works. I know that if I set it to always, my total network bandwidth gets lowered and capped at 90%. I know 10% is now reserved for gaming and only gaming. Do I understand that correctly? Even if streaming isn't high priority, and neither is downloading large game patches, won't it just be limiting my network for no one to use the extra 10%? I'm confused and not understanding how limiting my total bandwidth that I could use would fix the buffering while downloading, since anti BB would not activate on high priority, and even if it's on {always on} they are still seen as taking the same lane aren't they? Is there a write up that could help me understand how to use this tool effectively?

Thank you for replying. I do have anti-BB enabled and down to 90% OF my down/up. However, if I'm understanding correctly, when high priority traffic is detected (gaming) it caps my bandwidth to 90 percent that can be used to download stuff.... But steaming isn't technically gaming and neither is downloading patches on console systems. So wouldn't that still cause buffering on either device leaving them fighting over priority since they are neither? Also for the ports, I tried to look up the FireTV but there isn't any information as to what it uses, since I bet it's dependent on what app. Any reason why the destination would be 80 to 443, but the source is everything is open? Do i have to uncheck the classified games list before it will use my FireTV device, or can I leave both on there?

I have setup my network for a while and always ran into an issue where when someone is downloading patches which are quite large on a gaming console, I notice it causes a bit of buffering on my streaming device or low quality. I wanted to try to make the Firestick a high priority event instead of gaming, how would I go about doing that? I tried disabling the duma os classified gaming list and then adding the device and putting it as a service of games console, but that didn't seem to trigger the red light for high priority. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? P.S. Does anyone know when Duma 3.0 might be coming to this router,? It seems really cool! Thanks for any help!
