Edit in attached devices

When I try to edit and rename a device in the basic attached devices page on, I click apply, it appears to be saving the new information but reverts back to the old name. How do I can get the page to save as it should?

    I found the ONLY way I could do it was to use Nighthawk Mobile app to change the icon and name. That holds. The R8000 is not the only router with this problem. Been like this for a long time, never gets fixed.
