App broken?
Since updating the Nighthawk app on my iPhone to the latest version (2.44.0), I can no longer log into my R7800 Nighthawk router, which I was able to manage without problems before. Attached is a sc...

Yeah, the App is finally fixed (at least for my R7800 router). v2.45.1.1 (released and installed today) did it!
Now I can log in without any problems and see all my devices connected to the router.

If you are an NG "insider", please let their engineers know the NH App is still broke. They may think they have fixed the problem once they released 2.45.0

I just checked for updates on my Android Phone; that version of the Nighthawk app doesn't seem to be available yet, but I will keep checking.

Thanks for checking and posting on this. Same here, I can now log into my RAX80 on iPhone. Still waiting for Android update. I presume update should be soon. Fingers crossed.

Is your Anywhere Access working? Mines not. After enabling AA, it won't work and not Local Access isn't working.

I just checked and my router was connected by default via Anywhere Access and the App is working fine.
I am not comfortable disabling AA by Connecting Locally, as I am afraid the App will break again. Anyone has comments?

Ya that's what I'm seeing problems with, I enabled AA, got in once, then connected back to Local and it's not working on Local. I then tried again on AA and got couldn't connect to router message, pick something else, from the list for me, I see the app has it connected to the RAX80 with a green dot however wouldn't log in. Left it and over time, and now at work remotely, it's connecting via AA successfully, however selecting Settings menu option, fails to get it and seems to break the app again after closing and relaunching it. If I leave it close for while, then relaunch it, AA still works, just some areas are not working right.

Hmm, seems like the App is not stable and still has issues after all. I will leave it alone for now, as it seems to be working for me, but I am worried that it will break again if I try other settings.
I hope NG is aware of your findings and will address them soon.
