Care to give v40 a try? Looks like one user said the naming of devices seems fixed for him.

They have told me to try using the WEBUI Advanced Security -> Access list -> Not working

Advanced -> Setup -> Lan rename device -> Partly working.

 

For some reason some of the device are renamed and some not.

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm using the latest firmware and I have reseted to factory default 3 times to see if this helps but it has no impact on the problem.

 

I don't think it's a hardware issue because some of the devices are renamed.

 

Firmware: 2.5.0.38

Toube

Having same issue since the latest update Router Firmware Version V2.5.0.38
Attached device name got messed up and cannot rename some of them, also cannot change access control of some of the attached devices!!
This update is terrible
