both options without succes. They don't know where they talking about....

Have you tried going to the M3 Configuration page, then Network and change the name here?

EDIT: Just checked on my M5, this option is no longer editable in the configuration/network page, looks like a product/software issue, not an app issue.

I tried to do the same for my M5, and the network configuration page tells you to use the Apple Home app to change the name:

I then opened the Apple Home app, and here I was able to change the name 😁

I have noticed that, how do you add the product to the Home App? They ask a number...

Apple Home App, must scan the code below, but than he can't find the product... 

Ridiculous that you need the Apple app to change the name of a B&O Product.

....and what if I DON’T want to use the Home app at all?

I don’t use AP2 here - I prefer BeoLink for distribution of Airplayed sources!

@Mr. andersen - please clarify!

Agree that!!

Hi guys

It is simple and sad. Apple do not allow us to change the name if you have used Apple Home to setup your product. If that is the case we must make it read only or fail certification. 

Sorry but my hands are tied in this case
