cirtemid 0 Posted April 9, 2013 Hello all. I have a Swann DVR4-4000 which is connected to a Netgear router. When I go into the router configuration screen and look at the devices connected to the router, the DVR appears with the name UKNOWN. I know this is the Swann DVR. How can I get the router to recognize a name for the DVR? When I go through the DVR menus, the System option shows that the device name is DVR. Shouldn't the router at least show this name, or is this name something else not related to the actual device name? Everything works fine, this is just aesthetics. I am running to other devices having this same issue, so I wanted to get the DVR name straight before I actually become confused as to what device is what. Thanks.

This has no relation at all; it is related on how your router /and most) find the device names through a network, and many embedded devices will show no name at all. If your reouter does not have any option to name a device and it is just a cosmetic issue, I would not bother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
