NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
I'd like the ability to access the Access Control settings through the Nighthawk app.
I'd like the same for the Orbi app/web interface as well - it used to be present. It's unfortunate that Netgear decided to remove this feature from the web interface and direct people to their app. Then in the app for the setting to not be available.
I chatted with Netgear support and their reocmmendation is to pause the devices I don't want to have access to the network. This is a backward approach (very much a reactive approach). The better security model, in my opinion, to block new devices by default and require them to be approved.
Please bring this feature back and enable advanced users who pay top-dollar for your hardware the freedom and flexibility they desire to manage their network security.
