Nighthawk App Unresponsive on phone.

I recently installed Netgear Wifi Extender.  I was told to install Nighthawk app to manage the extender and monitor devices using the extender.  Problem is the Nighthawk app simply does not respond on my phone.  It is up to date.  I have restarted my phone.  Nothing seems to help.  Any ideas other than getting rid of Netgear crap?

    And that phone is?

     

     

  • You don't have to use the app. You can log into the extender using its ip address. 

     

    If you're on android, you can try force closing the app and clearing cache/data.
