DHCP reservation screen should allow renaming and usage of existing IPv4 address

[Bernard]

Hello,

On the Network Settings => DHCP screen I can reserve an IP for a device IF I know what is its MAC address. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Also I can't edit the device name (name or rename).

That's cruel 😂 and force common mortal to go back and forth several time from one screen to another (device manager)

I should be able to see not only existing MAC Address with the assigned name but able to see what is the actual IP of the device and reserve it as is or assign a different IP.
On the same screen I should be able to edit the device name to avoid going somewhere else while doing the device assignment.

I see what you mean, displaying it's current IP address as well as adding the option to rename it from there would be handy! I'll add it to the roadmap and let the team know. Thanks Bernard.

Went and got an extender & to my surprise no problems. although there is still numerous DoS attacks in my routers log.

That will happen on the NG routers but it's nothing to worry about
