T3200M, Dynamic IP plan. I'd like to be able to assign meaningful labels to my devices, rather than just random generic alphanumeric string names for android 1, 2, iPhone 3, 4 etc. Is that even possible?
I obviously can't do it via my dynamic IP, and Telus won't let me have a static IP. So I was thinking...what about by MAC? You would think this should work, since MACs are static. But - disclosure - I'm a networking neophyte and even if it's theoretically possible, do I have sufficient admin rights on the gateway to change it?
Be kind in your replies please... I have no idea if this question is interesting or just moronic.
