I have a device on my network (my wife's S7Edge specifically) that is having some issues when on the satellite.
- I cant rename it, it always shows up as "S7Edge<"
- It shows up as blocked
- The mac address shows up as /OrbiDevName1>
- It says it is connected "Wired"
What the heck!
However, when it is on the router and not on the satellite, then it is fine:
Hey guys....I'm having the same issue with the blocked device...it's always my Samsung Galaxy S5....shows BLOCKED (but it ain't)....won't let me edit any information....doesn't show the MAC address.....and all this started immediately after I upgraded the firmware to 1.4.0.18.....any suggestion?
Hello everyone
I will track this issue and try to replicate and pass it onto the engineers.

I am seeing the same thing. I went through and named the connected devices, so I could tell what was what. Came back later and one is listed as wired that is on wifi (and seems to be working fine still). The name of that device has < on the end. It's MAC address is listed as /OrbiDevName1>. And in access control, it is listed as blocked.
Almost looks like a bug in generating the web page, with a missing character in an HTML tag. The leading < becomes part of the device name instead of part of the tag.
