Device Name changed

[Glassertje]

Hello,

I have a RT-AC68U and every time after i flashed a new firmware the device name is changed. The new name is like RT-AC68U-E6C8 Why is that?

First i had a RT-AC66U and it had the same problem.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
What is your router MAC address?

 

[john9527]

It's appending the last two bytes of your MAC address in case there are multiple routers.

Found it. LAN MAC address: 78:24:AF:E5:E6:C8

@john9527: I only use one router.

So it is normal? Now i change it back manually after i flashed a new firmware.

I think it will change if you are doing a factory reset after the firmware load.

I did a firmware update via the firmware recovery page and clear the nvram. So that could be the problem than? Next time shall only update via the WEB GUI. Thanks for the answer anyway.
