Model: Deco S4  
Hardware Version: V7
Firmware Version: 1.4.3

Hi,

 

Is there anyway you can change the name of the actual Deco? I know you can set custom names and it shows that name in the app but this doesnt seem to be honoured in DHCP reservations.

 

For example, I have added about 9 x S4 Decos as DHCP reservations on my Windows DHCP servers using their MAC addresses. All of them get the correct IP and lease from this server but they all come up named as 'deco-s4'. I'd prefer them to have more meaningful names on the DHCP server. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

@SchoolWifi 

Good day,

Currently, the customized name on the Deco APP could not be synced to the web management page on the Deco.

But the recommended name is ok on the web UI.

So have you tried to use the recommended name by the APP, such as Kitchen, Office etc. to see whether all S4 would have different names?

Thanks a lot and wait for your reply.

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

So, I think I might be slightly confusing you here ....

 

The setup is this.

 

I have a Microsoft Server running DHCP.

I have reserved IPs for all the Decos using their Mac Addresses.

Decos in AP mode all wired into the core network.

 

However, when the Decos get their IPs from the MS DHCP server, they ALL show as Deco_S4.<my internal domain name>, rather than being unique - which is the bit I am trying to fix.

 

Thanks
