Device Name

This field displays the name of your network device. To change the name, simply enter a

ISP requires you to enter a computer name, you may use the device name that you’ve
entered on this screen.

easy to remember or write it down and store it in a safe location. If you have completely
forgotten your password, contact the Multi-Tech Technical Support group for assistance.
