[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1461944, member: 24098"] Routers don't identify devices on a network. The way the device is identified is entirely contingent on how the device broadcasts itself and the protocols it uses. If it's using SMB, it will appear to any Mac OS devices as a Windows PC. The router has little to do with it. [/QUOTE]
