Orbi app
I have the following issue changing the name of the device in Orbi app for iPad details and screenshot attached below: I cannot change the second line of the device name "Raspberry Pi" below the ico...
I have been primarily using Orbi app on my iPad or iPhone as Netgear has been promoting its use starting with the install and set up. It is good, easy and helps me do the basic stuff like check devices, internet speed, Armor notifications etc. As I got to use it more is when I noted the anomaly in the Kasa smart plugs labels. Going forward if I have any issues with Orbi app, I will check the web interface.
Thanks
Unless I am mistaken, the top line on the Orbi app corresponds to the Orbi web interface Device Name and the second line (in smaller type corresponds to the Device Type in the web interface.
For names, I typically put something descriptive about the device, such as location (bedroom, cat box, patio), who it belongs to (John's Mac, Bill's tablet), or what it does (Driveway Camera, Garage lights). For types, I typically use the model number (HP-720, Epson ET-3760, Kasa HS-105, Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, Orbi RBS40V, etc.)
Since I only open the app when researching a question about the app, having to create these entries in the web interface is no problem because I am almost always using the web interface. If one uses only the app, having to switch over to the web interface would be a bother.
