Using the latest ORBI iPhone app and the ORBI RBRE960 admin webpage with the latest firmware, I noticed that the admin webpage only allows Device Model/Name/Type. In contrast, the iPhone app allows Device Model/Name/Type/Brand. Interestingly, the Brand seems to be limited to certain Device Types. As far as I could find out:
- No Brand: IoT, TV, Phone, Network, Router
- Has Brand: Printer, Computer, Entertainment, Gaming, Media Streamer, Wearable, Tablet
I don't have devices at home under every possible category, so above is what I found out. It is illustrative enough.
First, the router admin page and the mobile app should be in sync. Which means, the admin page should also have Brand.
Second, there really is no reason why the device types with no Brand don't need to have a Brand. That seems like something implemented arbitrarily. Doesn't feel professional, especially for a product that sells for $2,000. Clearly, every device type should have Brand.
With great price comes great responsibility...
Thanks for listening
