All the devices are visible in the GUI and Nighthawk app (Android).
Only glitch I can see is one Apple iPhone shows up, but without it's name.
I've been on '130 for 24 hrs. Seems Ok, so far. I edited a device name in the Attached Devices list and the router immediately refused any further browser access, but it kept routing. A power-cycle reboot restored its browser access and I saw my device name edit was successfully. So, I guess you could rename devices if you were willing to suffer through a reboot with each edit. Maybe that's NG's big security improvement - requiring a reboot after each edit ::smileyvery-happy:

So, I had to try. I edited an item in the device list, and the exact same result, the router refused access, unti I rebooted it. Figures Netgear cant actually do anything totaly right!
It gets worse. Without making any more edits, I came back later and again couldn't access it from my browser. Had to reboot again to regain access. Later, I came back a 3rd time and browser access worked. Go figure!
I would either power OFF the router for 1 minute then back ON, or factory reset and setup from scratch maybe needed.
