Minor problem: I have a win 10 laptop that (all my other computers are win11.... tell me to go to tenforums and I will) but I am active on this forum...

the device name won't change. In system / about it has the right name but the router shows it as the original name of the laptop.
Is there some other location to change it? Registry?

keep in mind

PC names cannot consist entirely of numbers, nor can they contain spaces. The name also cannot contain special characters, such as the following:

` ~ @ # $ % ^ & ( ) = + [ ] { } | ; : , ‘ “ . < > / ?

For example:

AndrewPC is acceptable but not andrew pc or andrewpc?
