Nighthawk App (formerly up)
Does anyone know if the Nighthawk App can support multiple routers in different locations? Thanks
A potential limitation is in place for Alexa/Google Assistant - How do I fix the "I found multiple routers linked to your account, this feature is not supported" error when sending an Alexa or Google assistant command? - appears for now only one router can be registered to the Genie cloud (again my assumption Genie cloud == Nighthawk App cloud) to make use of these...
michaelkenward do you have multiple Nighthawk at hand for a try?
- Yes but 1600 miles apart. So i wont be able to test until later this fall. I will update the posting with my experience but it will be in a few months I suspect. Thank you.

Enable that and you can also get at the distant router in the usual way. At the same time you can get at the local router. You can even use remote access to get at both routers from afar.

Yes Michael, to link a Nighthawk router to the Nighthawk/Genie cloud to gain Nighthawk App (and Genie App) remote access you have to be local with the router, on the same (W)LAN.

I have both an R7800 and an Rú000P registered, but I have not tried using them at the same time.
- Michael, Just bring up the second router using the first router LAN for the Internet connection. Perfectly sufficient for a test.
