change hostname of cerbo gx wifi client?

Hello,


My cerbo gx appears as "einstein" on my wifi network.
Is there a way that I can change the hostname to something more meaningful such as cerbo-ao2, "ao2" being the name of my boat?

Thx

Carl

Yes, this is possible.

Simply edit your /etc/hostname file with your favourite file editor. Change einstein to cerbo-ao2 save and then reboot the Cerbo.

It will be gone after a firmware update though...
