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.

  • Same here! Android app version 2.9.6.1513, Speed Test and Remote Management tiles missing! They were there yesterday before I updated... 

  • I’m having same issue. Updated app to current app. Can’t speed test. Remote login.
  • 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?
