Night Hawk AX8 web interface attached devices edit issues.
When editing my devices under "Attached Devices" tab, I renamed some of my connected devices and changed the icon so I knew what was connected. The next day when I turned on my computer and accessed ...
It has been broken all year for me on every firmware... I just gave up
i found out the hard way it is not working properly after spending quite a bit of time scanning the network to determine the IP addresses of everything & edting teh details only the realise after an hour, everything was still showing "Unknown" after a reboots.
I also found that using the Nighthawk App and Web Interface to label devices is not compatible so changing something in one would then cause the other loose all information about it.
Yeah, this seems to be one of the many issues with this product. I bought it to replace a old Linksys router which could not handle a recent bandwidth bump I made with my ISP. I looked at the reviews on Amazon and while there were some bad, most were very good. I have no idea how that could be after the sketchy performance issues I have experienced. After spending hours on the phone with Netgear, they finally decided to replace my router with a new one which is no better. I would return mine to Amazon but the 30 day window has passed. This is unacceptable for a $300 dollar piece of hardware. I'm looking around now for a replacement. It won't be Netgear :)
I think all of the good reviews are from people that just use default settings. Anything more than that seems to not work well... basic router features are broken for most of the year on a $300 device. I will not be purchasing any Netgear equipment until this is one has basic features fixed.
- The only setting I wanted to change was the SSID and the router still doesn't work properly.
My guess is the good reviews are from people running the older firmware & who haven't bothered to update it.
