Issue H: admin (local device) password restrictions - to strict. Password which are working for the Genie Web login, wich used to work in the Genie App, no longer work in the Nigthhawk App, like these ( - _ # ? ....). Login does simply fail, no real user guidance.

 

Issue I: [My]Netgear Account login - possible password limitations. We see more and more reports, but lack of details for now. The Nighthawk App just hangs, and does not continue from the SSO Login.

    Issue K: There ar no mbps or Mbps (inconsitently used, and no standard) - use SI units only. Mb/s or Mbit/s (no lowercase m ... that's mili ... no uppercase B unless you talk of Bytes..

      Issue L: Device Types on the Nightawk App vs. router (R9000, 1.0.4.28 here)

      How should this EVER work and show the same information on the router Web UI and the crApp?


      And (of course), no modern IoT and Smart Devices Icons at all...

      Christian_R  ChristineT  ... bummer ... for how long do I report this? ZERO design - ZERO standardisation - blunt failure. How difficult can it be to get the basics right? And of course on _all_ supported routers. Once this is done, NTGR might consider to shut down the Genie app ... but not before.
