Potential Renaming Bug in Orbi 970 Firmware
This report is actually for the Orbi 970 product, running latest firmware. Newly installed this weekend, and one of the attached devices cannot be renamed at all in the browser interface. Refuse...
Ok. Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
Update for this thread. Trying a physical wired disconnect of the device from the network bridge, waited 5 minutes, plugged it back in, and Orbi rediscovered it as a new device, and is now working and managed as expected. Go figure!
Still think it may have been a management bug in the firmware, since I could see it clearly in the Web UI, and could not change it at all. But essentially starting from scratch by unplugging and replugging it back in, working fine and managed like you should be able to do. Including a brief test to rename some of the attributes, Applying, and changing back, worked as expected.
Case closed, but sure seems like a weird anomaly.
