Nighthawk App Wifi Router Setup
Hi All - since i can't contact Netgear directly I'm appealing to those brains in this community, thanks in advance! I've really struggled since I bought my RAX 40 Nighthawk- the main issue is tha...
Have you tried setting it up through the browser and not on the phone?
Thanks so much for the suggestion,
I went into the router login on the hardwired PC, and it shows it's all up and working - i wasn't sure how i can set it up there - if you have a walk through link on that i would much appreciate it!
Still do think the app should work - otherwise what's the use?
thanks again for the quick reply !!

Still do think the app should work - otherwise what's the use?---it is the point of an app. But I haven't been very impressed with the app of late. Quite a few people reporting issues with it. One of the few reasons I prefer using the browser. Plus it has more settings/options.

Thanks again,
yeah it seems like it's setup, but when the router restarts, even though in the router setting it all seems fine, the WIFI signal or something about the configuration isn't correct, the wifi doesn't work correctly, for example i will connect but every site will come back with an error that my connection isn't secure, red struck through https and until i set up again as if it's never been used, so not sure what that all means, and i don't know how to set up any differently using the wired PC -
appreciate the help!
what modem/gateway is it connected to?
