cant rename devices
when i click on any devices and edit it, i change the name and hit apply. when it refreshes the screen, the object still stays the same as what it was before. sometimes if i goto a different tab and come back and change it, it will work, but not that often.
- I figured it out. Instead of renaming the device completely, I just added to the name that it currently was and then I hit apply and then I went back and edited the name again and deleted the crap that I didn't want and it worked flawlessly every time for all devices.

Where are you doing this?
after i login to the router via a direct wire. i goto attached devices and i select the device and change the name and hit apply. it comes back with the same name it was before. i even clicked on 'access control' and it gives a list of devices attached. i do the same thing here and the same results. i've rebooted. i have no FW upgrade. it seems a hit and miss but most of the time, it doesnt work.
- Its a night hawk r7900p. It used to work before like 2 weeks ago. I can do it several times and it may take after the first try but sometimes after several tries and SomeTimes not at all.
