Nighthawk App Won’t Allow Name Changes

Not sure if there is a bug, but I can’t name the devices connected to my Netgear device. Every time I try, I am hit with an error that I can’t at this time. It’s been going on for awhile now. Anyone have a work around?

    Apps are generally useless for anything but trivial controls.

     

    Do it in the browser graphical user interface (GUI),

     

    Or use the desktop genie for your operating system.

    Check the downloads bit.
