MR80 / MS80 - Can't rename satellites
Hello! I've got a setup consisting of an MR80 router and two MS80 satellites. All devices are updated to firmware V1.1.7.12. The satellites are currently named Satellite-1 and Satellite-2... defaults...
This is possible, though I see the name change only appears on the IP reservation page, nowhere else in the app or internal web pages, which isn't much of a solution. This is something I'd really like to see Netgear fix in an app update, and/or better yet, in firmware so there's a way to change sat names without going through the Android app at all. Regardless, thanks for your suggestion!
Something to post about this here:

Will bring to up to NG as well.
Posted there accordingly, and thank you for passing it on to NG!
Just took a look at my MK63 system and I see that I changed the MS names to a custom name, just added a dash and DR for Dining Room and BM for Basement. I did this when I added IP address reservations to the MR for the MS:
The name also is seen in the NH app as well:
So I presume changing the names when you add an IP address reservation for the MS will work for naming them. Should work like this on the 80 series too.
