R7000 Nighthawk app doesn't trust my device
I am trying to set up the Nighthawk app on my iphone. To establish connection, it must verify the device, which the first method, using a push notification, doesn't work. The push notification doesn't ever arrive. The second method is to send an email, which also doesn't work. I get the verification code in my email but the app refuses to trust the iphone device. Is anyone else having these issues? How did you resolve it?

- FdincAspirantI had this problem also, it’s so frustrating! This option is one of the reasons I purchased this router. Also, this is my third router. I’ve had 2 of the r7000. The first one quit working altogether and the second one started failing. I bought a newer one last week hoping that this one would be great and the actual router works but now the app is faulty. Can’t win for losing!!
