    To me that name coming from your router sounds like a default
    configuration which acts as a warning too. I am sure you can change that
    routers behaviour. Have a look at the manual.

    As an alternative you can use the router with DHCPD functionality. Just
    configured it to use static IPs for your LAN from 192.168.0.0/24 net.
    Switch your Fedora machine configuration from DHCP to static IP then.
    DHCP is only a big advantage if you have more than just a few hosts and
    when they are changing.
