Change name of Satellite 1 or Satellite 2?
Is it possible to change the name of Satellite 1 or Satellite 2 to (for example) Office Satellite and FamRm Satellite?
Thanks.

On the Orbi web interface, Attached Devices page. Click on the satellite panel (at the top) and a box will pop up where you can type in a new name for the satellite. (Just as for any other device)

Too bad it didn't sort the devices. It's nice to have all the laptops together, cameras together, printers together, etc.

It's nice to have all the laptops together, cameras together, printers together, etc.The alternative Attached Devices web code will sort on any of the columns (name, IP, MAC,Connection Type, or Connected Orbi) but not on the other fields (Device Model, Device Type). There being no column headers for those, he would have to add "radio buttons" somewhere on the page to enable sorting on those.

@SLK-Purdue made an Excel spreadsheet that can sort on every data field except Device Type:

Thank you! That worked!
I've changed device names several times, just never thought of clicking on the Satellite 'boxes'. Feeling pretty stupid right now....
