Nighthawk App on iOS can't find Nighthawk X4S AC2600 D7800 in Australia
As per the subject, is this normal?
I just updated to the latest firmware and it still doesn't find it.
Kinda ironic that Netgears App that's literally called Nighthawk can't find a Nighthawk modem/router :smileyfrustrated:
*GROAN*
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it, kudo's to you

Yes, and nowhere in the world - not only in Australia.

Indeed. However the Nighthawk App does currenlty only suppot selected [Ethernet] routers, no xDSL or Cable or Mobile or whatever other routers carrying the Nighthawk name. FMI: Which products support the NETGEAR Nighthawk app?
In my opinion, you might be lucky and your router continues to be supported by the Netgear Genie App and Genie deskop programs - not sure why you are so keen on the "new" one - as Genie is ways ahead: Which NETGEAR home router models can I manage using the NETGEAR genie app?

Says it supports AC2600Blame Netgear for their awful mess of product designations please. Your product model is D7800, Nighthawk X4S is some marketing designation, and AC2600 is a summed-up total wireless capacity. Silly but true, Netgear does also have a product model AC2600 - and this is what is referred.
