Unable to rename attached device name

They fix it on versio V1.0.9.58_10.2.58!!!!
The ability to rename devices doesn't work in version V1.0.9.60_10.2.60, or I have something not configured, or I don't know how to change the device names. The router goes through the motions, but when all is done, the name of the device is as it was. QOS is enabled. I was able to name the devices prior to this update from what I believe was .42.
I am also having this same problem. Nighthawk R7000, FW 1.0.9.60_10.2.60. Any update in sight?
Same issue - R7000 V1.0.9.60_10.2.60 edits to device name in Basic / Attached Devices / Edit don't stick. However in Advanced / Setup / LAN Setup / Address Reservation / Add, I can enter a Device Name, and that does stick and is displayed on Basic / Attached Devices.
New FW version is available, try it.
