Can't change icons of attached devices
Have most updated firmware. I click on attached devices and then click on say a HP printer and I change the icon to printer. Says updating, but right back to standard icon. Any suggestions?
Many thanks to this thread. I too was plagued by the problem of not being able to change the manufacturer name and icon for my connected devices. So after telneting into the router, I discovered that it was only assigning a name to each device and not creating a "orbi_dev_name_ntgrxx" associated with it. And of course I didn't want to do a full reset and lose everything I'd already configured. So I added them all manually and now they can be changed via the GUI. During this process I discovered a couple new icons (42 & 43) and below is the complete table:
