Hello Dummy001 (no, you are absolutley not - far to many users never look into the online documentation)
Not a Nightawk RS router owner or user here. Have looked over the RS100 User Manual - and have not spotted any indications of this feature.

Dear FURRYe38, It's moot to discuss - this feature exists in the RS100 (and RS90, RS70, ...) online help system only. It does not exist in the user manual, too.
