Nighthawk app and ac750 wifi extender
Hello all
So i recently purchased the ac750 wifi extender and set it up through my iphone. Instead of using the nighthawk app like the manual instructs, whenever i connect to the extenders wifi a webpage would pop up on my phone to setup the extender bypassing the app. I set everything up and all seems to be working fine, but the extender does not show up on the nighthawk app and when I connect to the extender signal, the device will dissappear from the nighthawk app but I am still connected to the extender and able to use internet. Is there a way to make the extender and the devices connected to the extender show up on the nighthawk app? Thanks

ac750 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AC tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Is your unnamed device on this list?

Sorry about that. My model is the EX6100v2. The only thing I can think of is that I did update the firmware(about 2 hours ago) and it stated added support for the nighthawk app. Should I just start the process over again? Could the firmware not up to date be the issue with not being able to setup the extender through the app? Also, thank you for replying.
Where possible, it can be easier to set up a new device using the browser interface rather than an app.
I can't see what your app shows for your extender, but I do know that extenders are not as versatile as routers when it comes to controlling them with an app.
