Nighthawk app missing remote management, speed test, and blank device names
I am running Nighthawk app version 2.8.1.0 (this version was loaded from the apple app store tonight). I do not have speed test functionality, I cannot enable remote management because it does not exist in my app, and I am having an issue with device names coming up blank. Anyone else out there experiencing the same with the Nighthawk app? I put in a call to Netgear support and actually spoke to someone who then transferred me to the "expert" support team. I waited for 1 hr 15 min and then the call was dropped. Go figure!
My router: C7000v2.
Internet: xfinity

nldl8485,
Thanks for the info. We recently release version 2.8.2.0 for the Nighthawk app (iOS). May you reinstall and let me know if your issue persists.

I am also missing the speed test tile, has this been removed with the latest update?

No.
But it depends on what you are talking about. The Android app?
What device? A Netgear router of some sort? What firmware?

Using iOS Netgear Nighthawk app version 2.21.0.332. Same issue, the Speed Test tile is not visible or accessible with the latest update.
