Device names in Plusnet Hub One Manager

Hi Does anyone know if its possible to rename a device in the Hub Manager? My problem is my son and husband both have the same phone and when I try to restrict my son's phone's access it blocks my husbands too because both phones have the same name.

Thank you

Moderators Note.

Moved to 'my router' from the fibre board.

Hello,

It maybe easier to rename the phone,

Samsung Android phone take a look in 'Settings >About phone >Device name'

iPhone 'Settings >General >About >Name'

 

Hope this helps

Dan.

It can be done in the router, though the above suggestion is perhaps a better one.

Under 'advanced settings > home network > devices

click a phone and then you'll see 'Network Name' which you can change.

Thank you. Did use the mobile naming suggestion, but useful to know there is another way too.
