Have the same router and running the same FW. Have owned this router about 3 yrs. I don't ever recall being able to specify/edit the "Device Type" in the GUI with any FW version. You can do so in Genie, but not the router. I can edit the "names" of my devies in 3 areas. IP Reservation by MAC, Attached Devices and Access Control. I use all 3. If you have a screen shot where you are able to specify the device type, I'd like to see it.

Shadowsports, you will only be able to change the attached device type if QoS is set as ON (Advanced > Setup > QoS > Enable QoS) on your router. Then, you can establish data transmission priorities by setting the device type and its priority as shown in the picture below:

I am bumping this insteading of creating a new thread since it isn't too old.
I am having this same problem. Even when I change the names, they revert back and do not apply. This never happened before .34. Is this some how related to the changes made to Dynamic QOS?
Even when I change the names in the Nighthawk app, the names and device types revert back and do not apply.

I just updated to V1.0.9.42_10.2.44 on my R7000 and it's still doing the same thing.
Did all of the normal. Hard and factory resets. Tried renaming devices from computer (safari), NetGeini app, Nighthawk app... all same same.
