Hi, As NETGEAR Nighthawk app will replace GENIE app, it will be compatible to R6250 ans EX 6150? The compatibility chart does not show these two routers models. thanks

To much, and bad, bad, bad marketing by Netgear. The Nighthawk App does _not_ replace the Genie App (and Genie programs for WIndows and macOS) for all routers.

Which products support the NETGEAR Nighthawk app? (updated 09 April 2019) does continue to exist, and says "The following models are supported by the NETGEAR genie app: ..." and it list your R6250.

Only a few nighthawk Mesh Extenders are supported by the Nighthawk App ... and in a somewhat different way.
Your EX6150 will continue to become visible on the Genie App, and you can continue "hop" over to it on the Genie App network map.
