Model: Archer AX1800  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.1.4

hello - i am a recent convert to all things tp-link after surviving a rough journey throught linksys and d-link.

 

having the vpn-client option is totally wonderful!

 

i was unable to move past the "connecting" status using the l2tp-IPsec option using KeepSolid-VPNUnlimited, so instead i used OpenVPN and downloaded a configuration file, then uploaded it into the ax1800 unit, and that seemed to connect just fine.

 

my question:  looking at my device-list, the kindle-fire tablets are coming through as 'Device Name' UNKNOWN

 

is there any way to name these devices to something other than "UNKNOWN"...??

 

yes of course i can look at each device using its MAC address, but this is very inconvenient.

  @edwardsmarkf,

I believe that configuring an IP-MAC Binding from your router settings will allow you to set a Device Name based on the IP and MAC address. You should first try adding the device to this list to see if the device name change is reflected in the VPN settings.

  @Riley_S  thank you - i have not tried your suggestion yet, although i should think there would be an "edit name" or something similar conveniently located in the device-list section.....?
