Attached Device Names
First of all, in order to change the names in the attaached devices you have to do it through routerlogin.net. in addition, the name changes must be without spaces. Now, the proble is the Nighthawa...
I don't know why, but in my case, the names must not contain spaces, otherwise I'll receive an error message:
"routerlogin.net says Invalide device name."
As far as I know, I have the latest Nighahwk app downloaded, and nowhere can I find "change device name" option. It lists the attached devices in their default name, I guess the way the system recognizes them. So, the only option I have to know what device shown as "unknown" in the app is to go through the browser, routerlogin.net.
Regardless how good or bad my router may be, this is someting the app should have the ability to sync the lists with any Netgear product.

Which Nighthawk app is that? iOS or Android?
The path is straightforward in the Android version (V2.9.6.1513).
Start with Devices. Pick the one you want to edit.
Then when you have got there you can change the name and/or edit the icon.
Here at least, these also carry over to the router (R7800).
