Thanks for the response. Tried your suggestion on the MAC recommendation. Didn't change a thing. App still can't see it. I've done the new system setup several times. Doesn't work either. I've rebooted the router many times as well. Every component connected to the router is working fine. I just can't access my router to get to the settings and the App says "Issues connecting with NETGEAR##" is on the main screen. So it partially sees it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the App numerous times.
