Alternative to the Nighthawk App?

Question

Is there one? Can I connect my laptop to the Ethernet port and use an HTTP or SSH or something connection to setup my AX1600? I have spent hours trying to get the Android app to do it and, from looking at the other messages on this site, the App is broken. If I can't get it working in the next few days the AX1600 is going back to the store tagged "defective".

Thanks for your feedback. We still offer the option of managing your network via the web-based interface. Instructions can be found here:https://kb.netgear.com/000059495/Can-I-install-and-manage-my-NETGEAR-router-without-using-the-Nighthawk-appBut I cannot locate that KB article, doesn't seem to be online anymore.&nbsp;

AX1600 is associated with at least four Netgear products. Please enter the model number on the product label (usually on the bottom of the case) in this web site:

&nbsp;
Select Documentation, and open the User Manual.&nbsp; All Netgear WiFi routers can be configured using a web browser from a device connect to the WiFi router with WiFi or a wired connection.
