Sortable Column Headings

Is there any chance to get sortable headings on the "Attached Devices" section of the router's admin webpage?  We should be able to sort by IP address, name, and connected orbi at the very least.  I know there are javascript libraries that provide this... so it's not a heavy lift but it would be a huge user interface improvement.

 

Thanks

    A replacement Attached Devices page has been created by SLK-Purdue . I use it and it works great. There is an ongoing issue because

    • Replacing the stock Attached Devices web page with this one requires connecting to the Orbi with telnet, copying the file to the Orbi, and then copying over the stock page with the new one.
    • The newest firmware version has removed the telnet option.
    • The newest firmware version appears to automatically update without user action (notice or warning).  Just,"happens".)

    I have already decided that I would rather stay on the current firmware and keep my Attached Devices than benefit from whatever unspecified "security enhancements" the new version offers.  So far, my Orbi has not updated itself, so every morning is an adventure.

      Dear Netgear,

       

      I happily gift, give, release, whatever, my changes to you for your unrestricted use to include them in standard firmware.  If you need more legal paperwork, just let me know.

       

      I believe Voxel has already included this change.

      ps. I am working hard to get back to a previous stable firmware level and block NG update service
