The Nighthawk and Orbi smartphone apps require two different sets of credentials:
- The app itself requires the Netgear login (typically email/password. same as used to access the Community Forum)
- At least one time, the app will ask for the router web administration credentials, which are "admin" and the password set when configuring the router. (the default value was "password" and the user was badgered into changing it into something more secure.)
After the user has entered these web administration credentials, the app usually never asks for them again.
