NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
I use the Netgear genie software on an HP Envy Phoenix Desktop computer running Windows 10 with Mozilla Firefox browser version 50.1.0 and R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Smart WiFi router. I have a long list of items in the LAN setup (Advanced tab --> Setup --> LAN Setup). I cannot sort the list by IP Address or MAC Address or Device Name. I can sort this list in Access Control (Advanced tab --> Security --> Access Control), but it is not the full list of items for which I have reserved IP addresses. When I make a change to any item in the LAN Setup, it goes to the bottom of the list. I have 45 items in the list now and I want to sort them to facilitate finding an item in the list. When an item shows up in the Access Control list, I check the LAN Setup list before allowing the item to connect. I have to search through all the MAC adresses which is tedious. It would be much better if I could sort the list first. I am using Netgear genie Firmware Version V1.0.3.26_1.1.18.

This has been here for a long time... I guess NetGear has better things to do like making old versions of their router more intermittant. There also seems to be a limit to how many reserved address can be handled before it starts ignoring additional assignments (more than about 60).

I was going to propose this feature which is very much needed due to the quantity of the devices listed but just found someone already did it 4 yrs ago. I have a Nighthawk X6 R8000 router with the most current firmware V1.0.4.68_10.1.75 and it still does not seem to have any sorting ability. What is the status of the Engineering Investigatin that was initiated back in Sept 2017?
+1 to this, please provide the ability to sort on the Nighthawk Netgear routers
While you are at it...
I have 40 devices that I like to keep at fixed addresses so I can tell what is mis-behaving.
I just decided to change to a netgear router.
Please allow reading in a .csv file of reserved addresses.

Netgear genie is a real mess and need to be reworked completly!
