Nighthawk app
Why does the box for this router call it Nighthawk, AC 1900 c7000v2 but it is not on the compatilility list for the Nighthawk app? I am confused and unhappy that my only option is Genie. Genie is obsolete and no longer supported. Am I correct in my assumptions or can I use the Nighthawk app?
