Once again, Netgear releases another firmware update for absolutely no reason. They add more device selection on the iOS app but the devices updating is horrendous. It never sticks and you get diff...

And so why release a firmware update and not address this issue. Particularly, when the firmware update introduces new device types that can be selected when working with the devices. Just makes no sense on Netgears part. And, this issue has been oustanding forever it seems. It's really ALL over the place with respect to what the device listing will read. I had most of them renamed and the issue seemed to be primarily with them going back to Device Type Unknown instead of the the actual Device Type selected. Now, it's completely broken with Device Names going back to their original value and the Device Type other than what was selected/saved as well. Poor planning, poor execution, poor testing and poor deployment resulting in very poor customer experience.
