Model: RE705X  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.10 Build 20250817 Rel. 63070

Hello,

I have several TP-Link network devices in my home, all connected to the TP-Link Cloud and managed via Tether app.

In recent times I have bought 4 RE705X, but I'm noticing that every time they are rebooted, the name I assign them in Tether app resets back to RE705X.

All device configuration (SSID, password and other settings) is preserved, it is just the name assigned in Tether that is reset to default.

This is very annoying since it always takes some time to find the correct one to connect to.

 

This issue only occurs with all my RE705X, all other devices keep their name after reboot.

All my devices are updated to last firmware available.

 

Is this a known issue? Is there a solution for this?

  @Igor87 Yes, this behavior has been reported by some users and is likely a firmware-related issue rather than a configuration problem on your side. Since the extender settings (SSID, password, etc.) are retained but only the device name resets in the Tether app, it suggests the custom name isn’t being properly saved to the cloud profile after reboot.
