RAX45 - Any way to view devices that were previously connected to my router?
Howdy,
I have a couple laptops that were on my network the other day for a project. I named the laptops in the UI so I could find them easier and everything worked fine. However, I don't want these laptops to be accessing the internet except when the project is being worked on.
I know I can go into Connected Devices and Access Control to Block them, but it appears I can only do that when they are online which seems kind of stupid. Is there some way I can view all the devices that were on my network, even if they aren't currently online, and be able to control access control so when they do comeback online, they are blocked until I unblock them?
Thanks.

Usually if deviced connect then disconnect, the router doesnt' keep a history of what had been connected for later use.
You can try adding an IP address reservation for these devices so they will appear in the list when they reconnect.
Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk RAX WiFi 6 Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
