I like to rename my connections on the router so I know exactly what is connected, and to troubleshoot if there’s any issues. Also for parental controls.
Whilst the web interface for the hub does allow renaming, you can only do it on the home page, where generally it’s just labelled unknown. You need to be on the connected devices page so you can refer to the MAC address, however this page doesn’t allow renaming, so you have flick backwards and forwards each time. Ok once it’s set up, but a pain at the time. And if I ever have to reset the hub, will have to do it all again! The ability to rename on the connected devices page would be so much easier.
Also this doesn’t translate to the connect app, where you have to rename again if you want to check on there. The connect app does make it easier though and there are more options for device type as well. And when I got a new hub, translated straight over which was a godsend!
Another issue with the connect app, there seems to be a small disparity with what’s connected at the time, compared to the hub interface. Sometimes devices I know are connected don’t show on the connect app, and devices which aren’t stay in the list, even after resetting.
Minor issues I know, but both interfaces could be a bit more user friendly, especially parental controls, where setting up filters isn’t the easiest. They should look at the ASUS router interface for a more user friendly experience.
