While the answer from plemans is almost certainly spot on, it does not help that you haven't said anything about these anonymous devices.

 

I mention this partly to warn that whatever they are, this is almost certainly the wrong place to ask for advice. This section is given over to Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems. That does not cover standard routers. It is for things that connect to the mobile phone network.

 

So, if you need to take the discussion further, you might find it useful to find the section for your Netgear device. There may find more people there who are familiar with what you are trying to do.

      It really isn't that important. Many questions are generic. It just helps to look in the device specific sections if you need to take things further.
