    Change hostname of dreamlink box (and what happened to dev options)

    How do I change the hostname of my box? If this option isn't available, can you please add it?

    Right now the hostname is something like "android-2g98eh9483h" and there doesn't seem to be any way to modify it.

    Also, why can I no longer access developer options?

    Are you talking about the host name seen thru your router admin panel ?
    Can you change it there in the admin panel ?

    I did not know that the Dreamlink T2 model had access to the developer options
    Some of the Formuler models do, but I have never tried it or seen it posted thru the Dreamlink T2

    Yeah, I just set the hostname from my pfsense router instead. Now it shows what I want in my UniFi controller.

    Anyway, they used to let you enable dev options but it doesn't work anymore. Not a big deal, I just wanted to play around with the software a bit.

    Thanks.
