Changing device name
For security reasons, I'd like to change the router network name.
If anyone from Netgear is listening, I've found it incredibly difficult to find information, much less complete the task. Investing in the expense of a new system is becoming more appealing.
This is a common security recommendation. It shouldn't be that hard.

What would you like to change? WiFi SSID name or a connected device name?
Changing names can be done using a PC and web browser connected to the routers web page at orbilogin.com
