Sometimes you may need to change the hostname of your OpenWrt. Host name is stored in the system configuration file. You can view it in the following command.
cat /etc/config/system
It is very easy to change hostname of OpenWrt, using following commands. Here we are changing our hostname to “electroSome”.
uci set system.@system[0].hostname='electroSome' uci commit system /etc/init.d/system reload
