I've searched around but really haven't found the answer. I know how to change the name of the camera so that it shows up in the app. But what I want to do is change the name that is reported to the wifi network. 

 

Currently if I log into my router I see ARLOQ-PLUS, can this name be changed?

Nope, we have no access to the base or cameras to change anything.

that does allow the name of the camera to be changed in the app and for purposes of keeping track of which camera is which. But I would like to change the name of the camera on the network. 

 

The router assigns an IP number and identifies all devices on the network with a name or "unknown". I'd like to change the name that shows up on the network, not just the app.
