Z981 Wifi Hostname

Does anyone know how to change, or even see, what the Wifi hostname is? I want to change it because I have three of them in the house and it makes it difficult to get the firewall settings set right without having to look at the mac addresses.


\\Thanks in advance!\\
 
Go to settings> more> tethering & mobile hotspot> mobile hotspot settings> configure mobile hotspot

Is that what you are looking for?

Unfortunately no. :/
I'm looking for where to change the name that my router sees when I'm connected to it.
 
The internet tells me it's supposed to be in Settings > About > Device Name but looks like ZTE removed it for whatever reason.
 
I'm curious about this now too, I opened a thread on the ZTE forums about this, I'll let you know if I find out anything. I wouldn't mind being able to change my phone name. Seems like a pretty ridiculous thing to remove from the phone, I don't recall ever seeing an Android phone where we couldn't change the device name.
 
You can change your phone name in BT settings. I actually am confused with the OP, it does not seem like he is asking about changing phone name but rather his router name? Who has 3 routers anyway, oh yeah think we have more than 3, LOL.

But for the router name, I mean aren't you able to change/set your wifi name in wifi settings?

Really confused with the OP question here.
