Edit Device Name missing on 3801HGV
I have lots of devices listed on my 3801hgv Residential Gateway (RG) and only one has the "Edit Name" link on the LAN -> Status tab. I've tried other browsers and checked other dialog tabs with no luck. Has anyone been able to force the Edit Name link to appear? Other devices only have a read-only "Device Details" link in the device list. Thanks!
PS - The 3801HGV firmware is currently: 6.3.7.40

Perhaps, however, 2 of the same laptop models, same model year, at the same hardware and software levels should be handled the same. Appreciate your responses though, I agree that some devices won't allow a rename.

The only devices that CANNOT be name edited are computers, since you've already set a name ON the computer; and the same goes for some smartphones. If you want to edit the name of a computer or smartphone, you'll need to rename the device AT the device.
Sometime before Phase 3, ALL devices that can be edited now STAY named! I have always used Private-Fixed, but it made no difference in the past. Something changed with an update somewhere. I think it happened when we got the ability to NAME our DVR/STBs from the TV menu.
