Attached Device Rename not working
Hi All, I have contacted Orbi support with this one but they don't seem to have the answer I'm looking for. They have told me to try using the WEBUI Advanced Security -> Access list -> Not worki...
Ok guys, going to give this firmware a shot this afternoon.
netgear twitter support just DM me that there is a new firmware.
RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version 2.5.1.8
Note:If your firmware version is 2.2.1.210 or lower, you cannot update the firmware directly to v2.3 or higher. You must first update the firmware to v2.2.1.212 using the manual firmware update feature in the router web interface. After updating the firmware to v2.2.1.212, your Orbi router reboots, and then you can update to higher versions.
New Features and Enhancements:
- Enhances the device recognition mechanism of the attached devices list
- Add DAL into firmware for several features, like DIL, Armor.
- Include Fing for device recognition.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the compatibility issue with Sonos devices.
- Update the web server certification of RBR50/RBS40

Sweet.. just installed, so far, every custom name appears to be working, icons sticking also.
I upgraded my RBR50/RBS50 today from v2.3.5.34 to v2.5.1.8. Results thus far:
Good: Device naming bug of v2.5.0.x is fixed!
Bad: https certificate is still untrusted due to it being self signed, as seen in the image below from Firefox 71.0 from https://orbilogin.com/ which is the same self-signed certificate as seen in the v2.3.5.34 and v2.5.0.40 hot fixes. Netgear , please get a certificate authority to sign the certificate. Your previous certificate that expired in August 2019 was signed by a CA.
