Orbi knows device names. Satellite does not.

Orbi knows device names. Satellite does not.

Some time ago, I thought it would be useful to assign "names" to my devices using the Advanced function, LAN Setup.  My Orbi recently updated itself to 1.10.1.2.  Tonight I attached to the Orbi and looked at Attached Devices.  All is good.  Then attached to the Satellite and looked at Connected Devices. Hmmm.  Now an Android tablet and an Android phone show up as "android-fb466087f59edeea" and "android-3a48540ec7081e7f".  An Apple iPhone and iPad have the same assigned names on both the Orbi and Satellite.

 

WTF?

 

Anyone else observe this behavior?
