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?
Users should try v2.5.1.8:

Working for me. I didn't have to do a factory reset either. Users should try a factory reset on there systems with v2.5.1.8 loaded if they can't seem to get this working. Clear all browser caches as well. Using Opera for me is working with device naming and icon changing.
For some users which Orbi's out of warranty, give Voxels 3rd party FW or Orbi a try as well:
You must be using an RBR50. This thread was originally around the RBR20, for which the latest firmware version is 2.3.5.36. Extrapolating from how quickly the support for the RBR20 was abandoned after the RBR50 came out, I'm sure you'll be joining our orphan ranks soon enough.
True...hopefully NG will update the 40 and 20 series Orbi's as well. I would make contact with NG support or file a support ticket about this to let NG know about this for the 40 and 20 series.
Orbi 40 and 20 series are still being updated. Enen though we are seeing FW updates take a while as well on 50 series.
Good idea. I just created ticket 42096291 for them to follow up on this.
Awesome. You might refer them to this thread for there review as well so they can see others with this same issue.
