Lost listing of device after Device Name edited with double quote
Editing device list in Orbi (RBK53) running Router Firmware Version V2.2.1.210 and noticed that after updaing the Device Name for all nodes, all of my TVs went missing. I did notice an odd screen refresh when I named one of the first TVs and wondered if the name I used was messing up the HTML display code or the routine to gather all devices to list.
All TVs are named with the size and model (e.g., 70" Sharp Aquos, 55" TCL 515). This issue appears to be most likely the use of the double quote (") in the text field. While this character is allowed in the text boxes, all 6 devices that I have used with the double quote in the Device Name no longer appear in the Attached Devices list. I used the web intereface (Chrome browser on Win 10, with latest updates) to edit the list, but the display issue affects both the web interface as well as the Android app. (I did a short serarch on the use of double quotes but could not find any similar topic issues)

Remove the double "'s from the name field and see what happens. You don't have to use specific name values. They can be anything customized.
Thanks for the reply, and I would if I could. The issue is that the devices (all 6 TVs) no longer even appear in the list of devices, therefore I cannot edit what is not there.
After trying several searchs, and various ways to view the settings/listing, the only thought I've come up with so far is to do a factory reset and start over...
That would what been my next responce.
