FIX DEVICE NAMING AND DEVICE TYPE SELECTION ONCE AND FOR ALL NETGEAR - FIX IT, FIX IT, FIX IT!!!!!
Netgear, you need to fix the Device Type and Device Naming issue once and for all. It's in a COMPLETE MESS across all levels of your WiFi Devices. RAX80, RAX120, RBK53, RBR853. Issues everywhere with this and I know have the same on your flagship Orbi AX product.
- Device Types don't match between Web GUI and iOS app
- Device Renaming doesn't stick for some devices
- iOS app sometimes comes up with all devices reading Network Device and Device Type Unknown
- Choosing a Device Type in the Web GUI that does not exist in the iOS app results in Network or Unknow for Device Type in the iOS app
- We need the same Device Types in the iOS app that exist in the Web GUI - the selection in the iOS app is minimal at best
Fundamental router operation and you can't incorporate this properly once and for all.
