I was wondering if anyone knew how to change/update the device names that are connected to WiFi? When I click on edit, where it says unknown is grayed out so I am unable to change it. Hope someone can help me. :)

Hi AzLady85001,
To be more precise, connected devices are displayed on the web manager page for WiFi together with their corresponding IP addresses or MAC addresses and related device names.
For unknown devices, typically appear with just their IP addresses or MAC addresses.
Also ,the device names that are already connected via Wi-Fi cannot be updated or changed. Additionally, for unknown devices, we must contact the manufacturer to associate the name to the IP address or MAC address.
Please let us know if this was helpful, and feel free to ask any further questions you may have.
