ORBI - new connected device reported as Chromebook is a Windows PC
My wife just received a new HP Elitebook PC for work, running Windows 10, and it connected just fine to our ORBI network, however when I went into the app to rename the device as her work PC, it show...
Does it appear as a chromebook on the RBRs web page?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
It did, only said "Chromebook" there, unlike the app that showed "Google Chromebook", however after searching for a way to rename on the router (like the old check boxes on R7000) I got frustrated and clicked on the device name and it opened a window to change. Would have been nice to flag that field somehow, underline, or color to show it was clickable. Anyway, this minor annoyance should be fixed as long as the name stays with the MAC address.
Love my ORBI so far, and with two of us working from home our network has to be stable!
