Nighthawk App Lacking Controls

I own and enjoy this router yet I am looking at switching back to xFinity WiFi 6 solely due to their app. The XFi App offers incredible features and controls for individual devices. I have three teenagers and need to be able to turn off their devices access to internet at a given time. With xFi this was simple, yet when I switched to Netgear I was shocked to see the same features weren’t available. Is this in the works? Can’t be that difficult to code the changes. Can anyone provide any info on this before I switch?

  • Yes absolutely, what you want is currently in the firmware build for DumaOS 3.0 that has recently started beta. If you want to be apart of the next test batches then I'd recommend you sign up here: http://www.netgearinnovation.com/dumaos-beta/index.html once you're able to use it it will provide a perfect opportunity for you to provide us with feedback.
