If you’re going to connect to an open network - Meraki, free or simply open - it’s great if you’re able to drop them an email to say hi, maybe say thanks, introduce yourself (especially if you’re settling in to be a long-term WiFi resident on that network) … but at the very least it’s nice if you at least have a name.
Any name. A handle. An alias. Just name your device!
The Meraki Dashboard software is able to differentiate by MAC address so it won’t get confused by anonymous devices … but this is a little sad:
Where it says “Click to set” is where you can assign a name to a device for your own reference where that device connected to your network without a name.
Please give your laptop, phone, PDA or computer a name!
