Can I change the name of my puck?

Updated this week

Your PLEIO puck is initially given the default name N9600. Changing this name makes it easier to identify your device when casting from a phone or managing your home network.

There are two ways to access the setting, depending on whether you have just finished setting up your puck or if you are changing the name later.

Method 1: Changing the Name for the First Time

If you haven't closed the prompt within system settings, a suggestion will be available:

  1. Navigate to the System Settings via the gear icon on your remote control.

  2. Look for and select the Suggestions option near the top of the menu.
