Nighthawk App

Was just wondering if two people in a household can have the app downloaded and have created two separate accounts and have separate control over my router? It seems like that's what I've been dealing with. Is it a possibility? Thank you

    Locally on the [W]LAN every user with access to the network _and_ knowing the admin password can interact with the router.

     

    Fore the remote administration (via the App - not talking of the probably exposed remote management port), the router can be linked only to one Netgear account - it won't become available in the App for remote administration as a remote router while authenticated to another Netgear account.

    What exact problem are you dealing with?
