Nighthawk R8500 - Cannot rename device
I have roughly 40 devices attached to my router. I have been able to rename all my attached devices but starting at about device 38 or so, I have been unable to rename new devices. I can rename dev...
I installed the app and it let me change the name but the names kept resetting. I finally gave up and factory reset the router. Took a couple of hours to reset all the devices on the network but the renaming issues seems to be resolved.
Have you tried to do this on the Nighthawk app?

I did it on my r7450 so they should be able to do it for their r8500.
