EX8000 Nighthawk Extender - 1) Manually adding device names? 2) Disallowing devices to connect?

Hi All,

 

I'm wondering if I can manually configure/add names to devices listed as connected to the extender, and whether devices that tend to connect to it can be filtered or disallowed from connecting to the extender?


Thanks for the help,

    Hi Paul, both naming devices and filtering connected devices are handled by your router and not the EX8000 extender. We recommend checking the settings/web UI of your router for those instead.
