Friendly names associated with MAC addresses in Wireless Access control and Bind IP to MAC sections to help with administration, I had this on my old Netgear router and it was really helpful. It would be even better if once it is associated in one it is used globally.

Thanks,

Matt.

I agree this should be here, as associating a friendly name to an IP address should be piece of cake, most of the routers out there do this as standard.

Please add this Draytek.

To be honest this should have been added a long time ago.

It can be used for friendly names or hardware id tag numbers.

Also while you are at it, add a similiar feature to the wireless access control list for MAC addresses. As more and more devices get added to my network, it becomes a real pain in the ass to track them.

I would have thought that any one internally to Draytek who uses there own hardware would have requested this be added.

Definatelly, this get my vote. 35 bonded MAC addresses make it very difficult to administer.
