DHCP labels can not be changed
DHCP labels can not be changed
Hi,
I noticed that DHCP labels can not be changed during the IP reservation.
I can see "*", "--" or "UNKNOWN" labels instead of the correct names that I set.
Would you please help?
Thank you!

All of this looks like an issue for the whole TP-Link AX* family devices.

In AX20 for example I have 3 devices that are showing the device name as ' * ' and ' -- '.
All 3 of them are offline at the moment, ' * ' is a Sharp Smart TV, one of the other 2 is an Espresiff module and the 3-rd one has never been on my LAN so far (just made a reservation for future use).
It might be as well a symbol (special character) in the hostname that can't be displayed. I am not on-site now to test that, but scanning an online devices with a scanner like Angry IP scanner or WakeMeOnLan by Nirsoft (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wake_on_lan.html) should provide the hostname (wherever possible) of these devices to see if that's the case.
Other feature that I am using on AX20 is the following:
Using this, allows you to change the device information (to be more familiar) , which I believe is extracted from the devices' hostname.

Can you scan your LAN with either of the tools I mentioned to see if the hostname will be retrieved correctly from the problematic devices ?

Hi Guys,
I have found a workaround. We can set correct labels in the "Network Map":
and they will be good looking in DHCP reservations place, so you no need to rename it there:
But you still can not manage labels from DHCP reservation place that have to be fixed by Support.

It's not that hostnames are misunderstood. The fact is that the router forgets them when the devices go offline. And in the DHCP settings it puts dashes instead of host names.
Even if I manually set the hostname in the Network Map, when that host is offline, there will be dashes in the web interface instead of the his name. And not only in DHCP settings, but also in Access Control
