Gwarh Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 It's a minor thing but I'd like to change the displayed name for the LAN connection from 'NETGEAR41' to the name I gave the XR500 'MECHAGODZILLA!. I've tried changing the name in the NetDumaOS to what I want in a few places but it isn't updating, even after restarting the XR500 and my Win 10 PC. Would someone be able to point me to the menu--->submenu---> setting in the OS where I can change that name.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 4, 2020 Administrators Posted June 4, 2020 Go to Settings > Setup > Device Name and change it there, that should do it. You may need to reboot the PC/flush the DNS cache on the PC for it to then show up correctly.
Gwarh Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Weird, I changed the name to what I want under 'Device Name', flushed the DNS, rebooted the PC and the Router but still shows the 'NETGEAR41' default name. hmmm
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 5, 2020 Administrators Posted June 5, 2020 That should definitely work so not sure why it isn't but I've found a guide that will allow you to edit this on Windows itself: https://www.askvg.com/tip-how-to-change-network-name-in-windows-10/
