Fail to rename orbi satellite
Recently I have purchased rbk20 and a rbk 40 for a better wifi coverage. Everthing works fine before this issue exists, I tried to rename the rbs 20 to ''parents-bedroom''.
However, in the menu of attached devices, it shows ''orbi satellite'' instead of ''parents-bedroom''. Does there any solution?

Tried and it shows my devices were connected to the main router(Rbr20). After that, I unplug the lan cable and it shows ''orbi satellite'' again.:manfrustrated:
- So when you had the Ethernet Backhaul the devices showed as wired to the Router? What type of devices do you have: wired or wireless, any difference between wired and wireless devices' behavior?
- I guess you're still on Orbi SW 2.2.1.210. Can you please upgrade to next SW (2.3.0.28) and see if this will make improvement.

How are trying to rename them? Normally I would go to the web based gui and under attached devies click on the satellite, get the edit screen, rename, hit apply and all it good.
I tried what you have done, however, nothing change. Also, I factory reset my whoe wifi system but nothing change. Feeling sad about it.
I can't see the pictures that you posted. Can you please post them as attached files instead.
I had no problem to rename my satellite to "parents-bedroom". Do you happen to use the paranthesis with the name?
Is the link to the satellite working well which doing the change?
