Can't change icons of attached devices
Have most updated firmware. I click on attached devices and then click on say a HP printer and I change the icon to printer. Says updating, but right back to standard icon. Any suggestions?

Latest response from Support, regarding the Device Type issue on the RBR20 router:
Hi Keith, Thank you for the information you have provided. I have it all documented and already sent the report to the appropriate department. To let you know ahead, we don't have an ETA of the new firmware but the firmware fix that was added on the model RBR50 which is the device recognition mechanism will also be rolled out soon to all affected models.

Guys, a manual update to firmware 2.5.1.8 fixed it all. All icons can be changed and where even updated to the correct picture automatically

The Netgear Support team finally gave me a beta version of the V2.5.1.8 firmware for my RBR20 router and RBS20 satellites. I can confirm that it in fact resolved my issues.
While this version has been officially released for the RBR50 product line, it is not yet released for the RBR20. I am told it will eventually show up as released however.

Any news on when the FW will be released to the public ?
Can you send me the 2.5.1.8 beta for my RBR20 & RBS20 ?

Looks like Netgear has abandoned us on the FW upgrade. That said, Here are links to the Beta they send me which I installed, and is working:

Great. Thx.
Unfortunately both links down the RBR. The RBS is not behind the second link.

update: Sorry, now it's working. link in email was broken, link in forum worked out well.

Is there a chance you also got the FW for RBW30 ? I got that one "plug"-satellite as an addition in my mesh.

I edited the links in the post, and tested them. They work now. Try again.

Nope. Don't have anything for the RBW30, sorry.

The link targets to the beta firmware have been removed per Netgear's request. You'll have to wait for the production release.
