This firmware update has destroyed all my Device List name and icon configuration. It creates a new device list with cryptic names that may include device network names, and names with portions of the device's MAC address. If you try to edit the names and icons, it resets them. There are new icons.
As well for me it changed my settings in the portal and on the iOS apps.
When I try to change it, it will only stand until a restart of the app.
Some other divices get a name not even close to what it is.
I hope Netgear will fix this soon.
Naming of devices and saving changes is confirmed:
Please contact NG support and let them know about it.
