Having same issue since the latest update Router Firmware Version V2.5.0.38
Attached device name got messed up and cannot rename some of them, also cannot change access control of some of the attached devices!!
This update is terrible
Give v40 a try and see if this resolves this for you. Others have reported v40 fixed it for them:
I recommend doing a factory reset and setup from scratch on the RBR after updating FW. If this doesn't work for you, revert back to v30.
