Device Manager

I want to add the N300 WiFi Range Extender, but when I log into the NightHawk App, there are no devices listed under Device Manager. I definitely have multiple devices connected, so not sure why that shows nothing.

      I’m having the same problem ever since I updated the App yesterday. There must be a glitch in their software update. Tried reinstalling the app and router but no luck.

    What's that? N300  is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an N300, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.

     

    Does it have anything to do with the Model: R6080|AC1000 Dual Band WiFi Router listed in your footer?

     

    In general, it is better to ignore apps when setting up your system – or doing  much of anything come to that. Much better to have a browser and a wired connection to your network.

     

    If you visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

    Look for the model number on the label on the device.
