RBR50/RBS50 Firmware 2.5.1.16 Update

Latest firmware v2.5.1.16 on RBK53 in AP mode.  No new surprises yet.  Everything seems to be in order and working.  If you took the plunge, please share your experiences.

After updating to 2.5.16, my satellites no longer "know" the names of concected devices.  They do show the IP address, Mac address and connection [2.4GHz or 5Ghz] but device names are listed as "Unknown".   On the previous firmware they did know the device name.   So, a step backwards in that regard...!

    You try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS after the update?

      No, I didn't, never had to do that before.   Don't want to have to re-enter all the settings as it should be seamless.  Other updates were.....

        I see the same on my RBS50 thats wired too.

        Lets see if NG support can pass this on to engineering.
