Cannot rename devices on Nighthawk APP or using mywifiext EAX20
I have devices with no names and no way to edit them. I have done this in the past, but currently I cannot find a way to do this. There is no option to edit, either in the Nighthawk APP or logging in...

That's fine, I provided it. I don't have a FiOS router, it is directly to my Orbi. The reason I mentioned its probably not impacting this is because it isn't. My router shows ALL devices plugged in/wireless EXCEPT the specific ones on the extenders. Also, although I would rather my router showing it, I don't really care if it does I just want to be able to name a device on the Extender but it seems you cannot which is poor design. It also doesn't take the name from my router (as one device originally was on my router then moved to the better signal. It was named on my router, the extender doesn't see that name though. Seems like a good feature request as you'd think it would be available.

This is just so people at Netgear can see this, but you have multiple 5Ghz filters for the router in the app. It makes it look confusing, unless they are supposed to be like that.
In my iOS Orbi app under Device Manager I have:
2.4GHz
5 GHz
5Ghz
6Ghz
