I made a reset and it's the same.

Is this an issue of the new firmware?

For your information, my EX8000 is setup as an access point.

There is no problem with my router X8000 regarding the devices names.

Thank You.

Yann.

 

 

I have the same problem and constant client wifi issues where I have to reboot extender every 1 hours or so. The latest firmware V1.0.1.186 doest solve any of these issues.

    Please fix this immediately. I also just upgraded the firmware and lost almost all of my device names. Warning to Netgear: After having some many similar problems with my Nighthawk router, just keep writing and releasing firmware of this **bleep**ty caliber and all you should start working on your resumes because your going to go out of business.
