I've got a number of APs in the house and would like to easily know which one I'm logged in to.

Is there a way to place a unique name on the initial login screen, like maybe an NVRAM variable? I'd also like it to show up in the upper left of the sub.menu screens. I'm guessing these are static images but thought I'd ask.

use IP adress to log in ;)
 
Of course, you can change the background image, just use the mount command.

like:
Code:
mount --bind $Your_folder/login_bg.png /www/images/New_ui/login_bg.png

Yeah, that is a hassle! :)

The new Microsoft Edge (which is basically Google Chrome without the Google) allows you to install a website as an app with a custom title bar that then appears in the taskbar when run (taskbar vs browser tabs). So, you could prepare one of these for each of those many APs you have to manage. The custom title will tell you what you are looking at in the taskbar and when open.

The app shortcut put on the Desktop could be put into Favorites or a similar taskbar toolbar folder of links. I use the latter approach for linking to everything.
