Genie properly suspends internet. Nighthawk app suspends but then wipes name of device and type of device (changes name to _ _).

Edit: when updating name / type Nighthawk app will not consistently save name/type. There seems to be no pull down on device list page refresh function.

Talking of "Device List" and the ability to Pause/Resume the Internet access? Must be a specific problem with your router firmware and or configuration. Works nicely using the Nightawk App (2.2.0.368 on Android 8.1) e.g. against the R9000 v1.0.4.3 here.

The update/refresh does happen automatically - at least when a device is connected resp. disconnected from the (W)LAN - within about 10 seconds. Concurrent administration using different Apps/WebUI might not be a good idea as there is no lock (beyond of the Web based Genie sessions) and data push in place, the routers are pure single-user administration devices.
