What is the proper way to change the hostname of my Mango v2 device?

Hello
For GL-MT300N-V2 how can I change the hostname?

I changed it through Luci here
…cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/system
and here
…/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/hosts
but the routers to which I connect the Mango still show the old name?

Thanks in advance
