After having this problem since October, I just left it alone. With a bunch of teens at home, I didn't want to take a chance on upsetting the internet throughout our house. The system was working, I just couldn't use the Nighthawk App to access or change the system.
I went into the app on my phone today and try to tackle this again. I really wanted to add a couple of new sattelites to the system, but I couldn't do that without that access.
And to my amazement, the app worked. I had tried this app dozens of times without it working - but today it worked.

Possible the app updated.
I recommend using the MRs web page as a alternative to setting up the MR or adding any MS. The NH app is limited in what it can do and more options are available using the MRs web pages.
Glad it's working better now.Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
