Nightawk App, v2.3.1.568 Google Pixel 2, Andoroid 9, up2date
Management Summary: Careless design, poor programming, lack of QA.

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.

This is the code used for building the Device Type selection list on the R9000:
Issue M: Live Parental Control (LPR) Absent - Promoted at CES2019, promoted in the App Stores - but not implemented, ot available.
Also disputed here -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-App/New-Nighthawk-App-where-are-the-parental-controls/m-p/1738956
And no Netgear - the using the Web UI or opendns.netgear.com isn't an option.
Issue N: Wireless Devices showns as Wired/Ethernet
At least the router does show the same - so thie is (again) a router issue.
Issue O: Disconnected Devices are not Removed
The Google Pixel 2 shown above is deassociated and on a different network for a longer time.
Christian_R ChristineT .. more food for the meetings with the **** departement.
Issue P: Different and incomplete information returned, lack of Connection Type (5G/2.4G/wired) with some routers. The SSID the WLAN client is connected to is completely missing - for those running different SSIDs, too.
R9000 (same for iOS and Android, Android here):
R8000 - iOS or Android (same, iOS here):
Good Afternoon schumaku ,
Thank you for this extremely detailed report! I have provided your feedback to our support and products teams for review.
Best Regards,
Christine
- So true
ChristineT we're still waiting.
- Consumer UX is not a high priority segment of the Netgear business model. The UX here is stuck in the archane ways of the 20th century.
