Genie to Nighthawk app upgrade
C7000v2 Modem/router - Firmware 1.02.09 - Spectrum ISP
Sorry if this a repeat question. I have my home network configured with 25 devices and using all ethernet ports and both 2.4 and 5ghz wi-fi bands. All works fine with Netgear Genie on my windows 10 PC. I was thinking about installing the Nighthawk app on one of my 2 android devices (a phone & a tablet). BUT I'm worried that i may lose all the work setting up the current network (pc, android, a/v, printer, lights!). Is it straightforward OR do I have to be VERY careful??? Any guidance would be appreciated!
Why might I install: I am worried that Spectrum will, in the future, cap internet usage and I want to start monitoring total usage [not by device]. Is the Nighthawk app "more efficient" than the Genie Traffic Monitor?
Thanks in advance,
John
