Nighthawk

In the app under the Devies list, you can edit the name of the device and assign an icon.  Where do I find the mean for each icon?  See attached.

    You set the name for the device and pick the icon you want to use with it.

      No, the usability is poor, there is no textual definition on the icon selection page (not acceptable for visually impaired) e.g. in the form of a "mouse-over" or current selected icon. You can just see that the icon list, and the selected icon .It's about what is shown in the list as e.g. NETWORK or EXTENDER and the like.

       

      And still, a switch icon does not exist (instead we have a bloody router - what does another router behind a Nighthawk?) so we can just use the "wireless" icon identifying as NETWORK (WT*?) - even if we have "real" Netgear Nighthawk switches in place. 

       

      Note: The number and types of icons depends on the managed Nighthawk device - and even the leading edge 802.11ac R9000 does still come with a very limited icon set. Just ridiculous, too.
