UniFi - Devices: Changing device name

Modified on Mon, 20 Apr, 2020 at 3:28 PM

When there are multiple devices within a site, most customers like to assign each device with a unique name for easy identification.  To do this, you need to navigate to the devices page within the controller. 


When selecting the device in question, a properties page will appear on the right hand side. You will need to click on the config option (a drop down will appear and you will need to navigate to general) > Enter the device name of your choice into the Alias text box > Save.


The device will show a status of provisioning and connect once the changes have been successful.
