When I try and change the name and device type through the Netgear Nighthawk mobile app, they won't stick. They revert back to the previous name and type after closing and re-opening the app. The routerlogin site seems to work fine, but the mobile does not. I can't change the name on one of the devices at all.
Info:
- Nighthawk R7800 Router
- Updated mobile app on 4/25/20 via Google Play Store
- Firmwire is updated
- Uninstalled and re-installed the app from my phone
None of the above will work :(
