Network device cannot be renamed

Computers, smartphones, and other network devices listed in the Mesh Overview in the FRITZ!Box user interface cannot be renamed.

Note:This guide is valid for FRITZ!OS 7.50 or later. If you are using an older FRITZ!OS version, the configuration may differ or functions may not be available. You can find the FRITZ!OS version on the "Overview" page of the FRITZ!Box user interface.

1 Installing the latest FRITZ!OS

  1. Install the latest FRITZ!OS on the FRITZ!Box.

2 The name may not consist of only numbers

Enter a name for the device that does not only consist of numbers:

  1. Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  2. Click "Mesh" in the "Home Network" menu.
  3. Click the (Edit) button for the device you want to rename.
  4. Enter a unique name of your choice in the "Name" field. The name may not consist of only numbers.
  5. Click "Apply" to save the settings.

3 Device connected to the FRITZ!Box via the guest network

Only devices connected with the home network can be renamed in the FRITZ!Box user interface. Devices connected to the FRITZ!Box via the LAN or Wi-Fi guest network cannot be renamed in the FRITZ!Box.

Note:The FRITZ!Box displays devices with their host names if the devices send them to the FRITZ!Box when they obtain their IP settings via DHCP. Devices that do not send their host name to the FRITZ!Box are displayed with their IP address (for example "PC-192-168-178-20").

4 FRITZ!Box is configured as a Mesh Repeater / IP client

When used as a Mesh Repeater or IP client, the FRITZ!Box adopts the device name from the Mesh Master or the upstream router. This means that the names of devices cannot be changed in the FRITZ!Box configured as a Mesh Repeater or IP client, they have to be renamed in the Mesh Master or upstream router.
