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?

I have an Orbi RBR50 with 2 satellites. Since the last firmware update, the device names and descriptions were all changed...ALL of them. One of my Rokus became a camera. I tediously changed ALL of them. No easy task. I had to go to each device to get the IP address and MAC numbers. Unfortunately, the device descriptions changed again on refresh or closing and opening the app or screen. This occurred with the Android app and the online address. I have given up. A total waste of time. Thank goodness I have a massive amount of security redundancy, otherwise it might be impossible to monitor! I am also noticing another change. When rebooting the router, the satellites won't connect. The satellites stayed solid blue for over 10 minutes. It's quite a process now to get the satellites synced up after reboot. NETGEAR, please fix V2.5.0.38 update.

Having similar issue.
Can't change device name, model, or icon/type.
Any changes revert,instantly, back to their original settings.
When is then next firmware release?
