Way to give HD extender a name?

Is there a way give an HD extender a name to identify it in the routers client table? I have 2, and I can tell which clients are the extenders because they're the only clients without a name, but it would be "nice" to see a name rather than just a mac address.

Have you check your DHCP server? Mine which in in my DSL router allows me to rename my devices. I did give the HD extenter.

If Sage did provide a name for the HD extender, then they should also allow it to be mapped by Vista like the HDHRs are.

I have a Linksys WRT54G. I don't see anything in the setup which would allow me to rename my devices. So, I guess I'll just deal with it. Good thing my Wii provides a name ("Wii"), otherwise I'd have 3 nameless entries!

I would imagine this could be fixed with a firmware update. At least a hardcoded name would be nice - "hd100" maybe.
