Hi, I have a lot of devices attached to my router. I try to keep things organized so I can see what is attached in the Attached Devices screen. Can Netgear please add the option to upload a custom...
I don't know if this thread is still open, nor if the topic is still under "Engineering Investigation" but I'll give it a go.
It's 2022 and I still see the same tired, old device types and icons. We don't need that much detail - just generics:
Cellphone
Tablet
Laptop
Desktop
A/V Receiver (or whatever)
Speaker
Bulb/Lamp
Robot Vac
Router
Thermostat
Mini-routers or extenders (for individual items)
Etc.
Having all the Mac types and different models of phones is a waste and too much work for the programmers to keep introducing new ones. Generics would require much less maintenance - just add some new types once in a while. On the other hand, I guess it's not a lot of maintenance after all since the list hasn't changed since I first looked at it years ago.....
