Edit a device

What you'll need

• A device already added (see Router & hardware setup overview)

Steps

1. Go to Devices and click Edit Device on the device you want to change.
2. The Info tab shows a read-only summary: device name, active/inactive status, MAC address, model type, NASID, and location.
3. The Edit tab is where you make changes — today that's the device's Location (a dropdown, letting you reassign it to a different location) and its Device Name. Click Update to save.
4. The Session tab shows the location's session limits (daily time limit, bandwidth caps, content filter) that apply to this device, with a link to edit those location-wide session options if you need to change them.
5. Your device's hardware type/vendor is locked in at creation — there's no field to change it here. If you set up the wrong vendor, delete the device (see Delete or disable a device) and add it again with the correct one.

Best practice: double-check the Location dropdown before saving if you're moving a device between sites — reassigning triggers MyWiFi to reconnect to the device with its new location's settings, so it's not something to do casually mid-troubleshooting.
