Unable to add a name/rename attached devices on R8000

Hello, I've seen a few posts about not being able rename attached devices.  I have a R8000 with the latest firwmare (1.0.3.26) and I have a few devices that show up as --.  When I attempt to give the device a name.  The name does not update.  

 

Why does this work on some devices, but not others?  Seems like this is a bug as the process should work regardless of the device.

You are unable to change the device name, device priority or device type.

 

When it does work, the screen looks like this:

I do run my R8000 in Access Point mode, but changing the mode has no effect.

 

Thank you...

Hi Tazman,

 

If you set the R8000 to router mode, will you get the same problem?
