Where can I change the user name admin?

Hi R_hernan,
Check the router if Access control is enabled. If yes, try disabling it.https://kb.netgear.com/24830/Configuring-Access-Control-on-Nighthawk-Wi-Fi-Router

You already know the answer to that but I except your answer. Only wish they would add the feature in a future release. Thank you for your reply.

I agree being able to change the admin name would close off an entry point on your network but untill the firmware allows it we are sick with the same issue.

No, it would be just security by obscurity. Like the heroes moving the default ports to other random port numbers.
