Orbi RBR750
Hi all, Need a clarification in displaying the device name and machine in orbi system app.
we are using the
Netgear Orbi RBR750, App Version 2.23.0.67, Firmware Version V4.6.14.3_2.3.12
used ...
The Orbi system includes software that attempts to determine from the device MAC address what sort of device it is most likely to be. This is complicated because some devices deliberately create a randomized MAC address when connecting to WiFi (depending on an option in their network settings).
The app allows customers to edit both the Device Name and the icon used to indicate type of device. Because the app communicates with the router to gather data for the display, if the customer has created Device Names in the web interface, that information will be communicated to the app for display.
