NETGEAR is aware of a growing number of phone and online scams. To learn how to stay safe click here.
Now that IoT devices are blowing up on home networks the Nighthawk should have a section to assign host names or devices names to each piece of equipment by using their MAC addresses. This would help for security reasons and managing a large home of IoT devices and network devices. I remember at the beginning my Nighthawk would allow you to rename a device from the default one it takes from the device but it is gone now. Add a host table to name all the devices so if you have say like 100 IoT devices you know which one is which instead of FD5B00000392D3, ESP_AFBBD, or amazon-f8578ae8. Kind of hard to figure out what these are in the network unless you keep a MAC to IP spreadsheet. With a host table too you should add ablity to print or save the table in a format to view in Office.
Thanks
