Router nicknames
Please see my screen shot. Does anyone know how to name these routers so on the Android Nighthawk app I can distinguish them from each other? If I click on one and then click on the image of the route...

Does the 3 vertical dots have any options?

The three vertical dots pulls up a menu and all that allows you to do is remove the device from your list

If you selecting on one of them and go in to the settings for the picked router, can you edit or change any with in?
I know on some routers there is the host name section seen on the routers web page. Wondering if maybe changing the host router name on the routers web page using a web browser first would maybe see a change on the NH app.

I have messed around in the settings for quite a while. I have never been able to find anything that transfers a name to the NH App overview screen. I know where to change the router names, but that name does not seem to transfer to that screen that I need.

Seems no one has an answer for this still. I have multiple RAX50s (not available in the dropdown - come on Netgear fix the list please) and they show up as RAX50 rather than the router name they have each been given in their specific configurations. This should be a simple chaneg to the app to have it show the router name rather than the model number -- or even both <AP Name> - <Model> i.e. Router at Home - RAX50.
