Nighthawk AC2600 Smart WiFi Router(R7450 - Username admin
I've seen the discussion about not being able to change the router username to something different than "admin" and understand the point about using a longer password with the possible different user...
I'd agree its a bit pointless.
But my bet would be because of legacy coding in the setup and it not worth the cost/effort to remove it.
