Orbi RBR50 2.5.0.38 firmare bug
Attached devices list has bogus device name etc. info and can no longer be edited. Althought the edit device name screen appears no changes ever get applied after pushing apply button.
Version 2.5.0.40 fixes fo the problem for me.
This has been a complaint since this firmware was released. The ability to customize device names and types is "totally broken."
Some people have found that the new firmware solves more pressing problems.
Others have found even more deficiencies and have moved back to 2.3.5.30.
I, personally, waited to see what people were finding and have decided to ignore this firmware update.
Version 2.5.0.40 fixes fo the problem for me.
Awesome. Glad its working. Please mark your thread and solved so others will know.
Besure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
- The new firmware (.40) did not fix the problem for me, although I didn't do a factory reset as it takes far too long to set everything back up. Although I still can't change/save device names or icons, .40 does at least correctly display previously saved names, rather than just showing the devices' MAC addresses.
One poster reported that a reset help with this for his system. If you need device naming abilit, you'll need to downgrade to v30 or v34.
