Since you said it happened after an automatic update, the firmware is the cause. You are not going to fix it unless you do this.I'm not too keen on playing with firmware. It might do more harm than good.
I know you are correct but the one that is loaded is the official one on Huawei's website.

I have the B525s-65a router and it returned no results.
I've just read a thread on myBB apparently they replaced the UI?I have the B525s-65a router and it returned no results.
I'll bet that a firmware editor is not freely available.
What do you mean?I'll bet that a firmware editor is not freely available.
It's YOU who don't understand. Not everyone sees things the same. The "Device name" as given by the router is not really the device name but rather the model name. The real device name is the SSID you choose. It's the one that's broadcast over the network and used to connect to. The name being shown is neither of these and I don't know where Windows gets it from as in my case it's even completely generic.
I'm guessing this is more a Windows issue than a router one. There are many reports of Windows 10 injecting Chinese characters into stuff. It may just be a coincidence that it happened after an update as it could also be one of the Windows updates causing the issue.The router is set to receive updates automatically. The name changed after the last update.
Also, I do not want to test it with other firmware.
Because of most hardware uses unique hardware which rules out generic editor's.
I'll test it with my laptop this afternoon.
You can test it from your phone. Log into your router from a browser on your phone.I'll test it with my laptop this afternoon.
I want to change the way it displays when viewing it in /file explorer/network.
It doesn't allow me to change the device name.
No, that was just to allow you to look at it from another device. Your router's funny name is on the is in the firmware, and has boggerol to do with the device you are using to look at it, as mentioned by someone earlier in the thread.
There aren't any firmware listed on Huawei for the B525s-65.

Not sure if you can do that. One thing you mentioned is that you use it through a switch, so you aren't connecting wirelessly through the SSID. Also not sure if you said when this started exactly?I want to change the way it displays when viewing it in /file explorer/network.
A browser can't do that or am I missing something?
Is that through Wifi or directly?
