Can I control device access to the HT2000?
You can see what is connected, and what was connected but is no longer (since the modem was last plugged in) on this modem page.
You can limit access by Mac address to the HT2000W in the Mac Filtering Table, which is in the Advanced section of the WiFi Settings.
With this said, if your Nighthawk router worked better for you, and you still have it, I would use it. If you do, you should disable the WiFi in the HT2000W so as to not interfere with your Nighthawk's WiFi. You can do so by signing into the WiFi settings through the link above (admin is the password), then uncheck "SSID Enable" for each of the four tabs on the Home page (2.4Ghz, then 2.4Ghz Guest, then 5Ghz, then 5Ghz Guest), clicking "Save Settings" near the bottom after doing so for each one. They have to be done one by one. Then click Advanced Settings on the left, then Wireless, and then uncheck the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Frequency Band boxes, then click Save Settings. All of this ensures that the WiFi radios in the HT2000W are disabled in every way.
With the Nighthawk, you'd just connect it to the HT2000W with a LAN cable, and then use it as you did before.
