MR80 / MS80 - Can't rename satellites
Hello! I've got a setup consisting of an MR80 router and two MS80 satellites. All devices are updated to firmware V1.1.7.12. The satellites are currently named Satellite-1 and Satellite-2... defaults...
You might set a IP address reservation on the MR for the MS for each IP address, then I believe you can change the name seen on the Add IP address reservation page before applying the change is about all you can do.
This is possible, though I see the name change only appears on the IP reservation page, nowhere else in the app or internal web pages, which isn't much of a solution. This is something I'd really like to see Netgear fix in an app update, and/or better yet, in firmware so there's a way to change sat names without going through the Android app at all. Regardless, thanks for your suggestion!
