workgroup name

[dgwx]

My router has the workgroup name WORKGROUP. I would like to change it to be the same as all the computers on my network. I have looked through all the options in firmware 3.0.0.4.354 but did not see a place where I could change it. How can I do that?

USB Applications -> Servers Center -> last tab on that page (forgot what its name is).

Silly me, I thought clicking on entries on that page would install something and since I had not gotten around to understanding what all those things were for I never clicked on any of them.

Your instructions are perfect, thank you. Unfortunately my workgroup name has a space in it and ASUS doesn't like that. I don't look forward to changing all my devices to accommodate this but I assume there are no alternatives.

I don't think spaces are a valid character in a workgroup. I'm surprised you were able to configure that at all.

This must be another case of Microsoft going its own way, as Windows allows spaces in workgroup names. I probably knew that unix/linix/etc does not but didn't think it would ever matter to me. Oh well, my bad.
Again, thanks for the help.
