Model: Archer MR505  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.13.4

Hi. I am able to rename each connected client device and although the Device Type icon is saved, when I rename the device after a few seconds it reverts to the previous name or "Unknown" name. Please can you advise if there is another way to save the new name or if I am not doing something correctly. Thanks V Much

Hello@GAZ25 ,

Thank you for contacting our community.

Have you changed the device name via Web UI?

You can try to change the device name on the Tether App, follow these steps:
    1. Open the Tether App and navigate to the "My Devices" page.
    2. Locate the device for which you want to change the name, then tap on the device.
    3. Tap on the device picture 
    4. Tap on Name or the "Edit" icon next to the name.
    5. Enter the desired name for the device and save the changes.
By customizing the device name, you can easily differentiate between multiple devices with the same model number.
For more detailed instructions, please refer to this FAQ: How to change device name on Tether App

 

For unknown devices, please refer to Why is a device displayed as an unknown device on the Deco app?
