Us that the Nighthawk app? I see no sign that it supports this, or any other, mobile hotspot.

Is the Mobile App which shows on router "support" chapter, not the Nighthawk App.&nbsp; Do you know this?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Where do I find that?

It isn't in my manual for your device. I checked that before I replied. But these things depend on firmware. It would not surprise me of the manual was out of date.
&nbsp;
Try the support pages for your device.
&nbsp;
Support | NETGEARFeed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist. 
&nbsp;
Also, Why not check the place where they support your device?

I have the same problem.&nbsp; The Nighthawk app says "Wi-Fi Router Not Supported" when I try to connect.&nbsp; Yet there are Youtube videos and such of people using the app with the wireless hotspots.&nbsp; I have a Nighthawk MR6500 M6 Pro AT&amp;T Unlocked.&nbsp; Have others connected their Nighthawk hotspots to the app successfully?
