Nighthawk phone app Remote Management will not work
When I try to enable Remote Managment on my Nighthawk Android phone app I get the error
"Something went wrong. This NETGEAR device is already register with another account"
I have the remote management turned on from the desktop PC with "Everyone" selected.
I can acess the remote management through the phone using a URL on the Crome internet app on the phone.
I just can't access it using the Nighthawk phone app.

Netgear has added a lot of confusion by re-naming two complete different features Remote Management (-> explained here https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-App/Enable-Remote-Mgmt-Error/m-p/1837705/highlight/true#M10396).

Appears the Remote Management was enabled before while using a different Netgear Account. If you don't remember this account to disable the Remote Management in the App no other way to try a factory reset. If this does not cure, you need some assistance by a Netgear moderator.
I was on the phone with the NETGEAR techs for over 2 1/2 hours trying everything. They deleted every account I had, plus I returened the router for a new one just incase the serial number was assoiated to another account. I cannot even turn on the Remote Management on the app without the error. They have a bug in their app.
