    Welcome to the community, softerist

You're welcome. 

I suggest that you submit it under our Ideas Exchange board.

    Ideas Exchange board does not have a thread for R9000 router. So I can't submit it... this sucks bad.

      The board is not product specific. You can just simply create one for your request. 

      Just make sure to indicate the model either in the title or in the textbox.
