Is there a way to download the nighthawk app for a desktop?

  • There is no Nighthawk app for desktops. There is, though, a desktop genie.

     

    Netgear is trying to kill this useful utility, but for the time being you can find it here:

     

    genie | Product | Support | NETGEAR

     

    Be warned that the genie installation file is wrapped up in a RAR archive that you have to decompress.

      Hello

      The NETGEAR Nighthawk app is a simple-to-use platform for managing all your Netgear Nighthawk devices and services. It offers a clear dashboard containing high-level information about your network overall, your Wi-Fi settings, internet speed, parental control and security settings, and more. For access Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to your router's network. Enter routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. The router login window displays. Enter the router admin user name and password.

      Did you have a fix on this issue? Facing same issue but no response from anyone and couldn't find this topic troubleshooting in google.

  • hello

    as per knowledge The Nighthawk app is mobile only (iOS and Android). So not possible for desktop.
