How do I change the "name"

I recently (a month ago) setup a third Roku box and called it "Front room" because it was in the front room. Then I realized I should rename the other two to reflect where they are but I don't see where to change that. I think all of them are Roku Ultra's, is such a thing possible?

If you want to rename your device you can do it either through your Roku account online or through the Roku remote control app for your smart phone
