Losing device names

Recommended Posts

I renamed all the devices on my network to their appropriate name after a couple of restarts over the last two days of the router I’ve noticed a number going back to their default value. Is this going to be a regular thing? Is it possible to back them up at least so I can restore when this happens?
 

The device network data is so good on the netduma but completely pointless if you don’t know what device you’re looking at. 
 

thanks

I restarted through the web interface, nothing unexpected for the router. 
some smart plus, PlayStations, Amazon devices had gone back to default, but a number I had changed were fine.

I've notice when you rename one in 2.4 and if it goes to 5 on wifi, you have to rename it again. Hop that helps

That makes sense as the device will have a different MAC address for that connection method, so the router essentially sees it as a completely new device

Definitely the same device as the same MAC address that im renaming. I noticed after upgrading to .41 last night my PS5 was renamed to PlayStation again and this is an Ethernet connected device :(
