R8000P - Not able to login via Nighthawk App

Hi!

Ou tof nothing I have the situation that I can`t login into my router via Nighthawk App. The username and passwort are correct and I changed them already to see if this cause the problem.

I can login via IP adress http://192.168.1.1/ over PC and Mobile Phone. 

I am using Home Assistant and the Netgear Integration and this isn't working too.

My router is on firmware V1.4.3.88_1.3.50 due to a problem I had with static IP adresses and the Netgear support

recommended to downgrade to this version. It is some time ago and maybe the newest firmware works again with static IP adresses?!

  • So finally it is fixed!

    The not working adress reservation was never a problem for me and was not my question here.
    I still use an older firmware and it is working.

    My problem was the missing possibilty to log into my NH app and starting the Home Assistant Netgear Integration.
    I checked the "trusted devices" and it seems the amount of devices was reached. So I had to delete my old mobile phones and the app is starting again and Home Assistant is working well too.

    It seems, I found the solution on my own.

    Many thanks to me!

    What NH app version are you using on the mobile devices? 
    Be sure that's up to date.

     

    What do you mean by static IP addresses? Static IP addresses are set ON devices, not the router.

      Hi!
      My NH Apps shows the version 2.33.0.3504 so Iguess it is up to date.

      But the Login doesn't work either with in Home Assistent and the Netgear integration.

      With static IPs I mean that I give some devices a fixed IP address so that they don't change after a reboot of the router for example.

        AH that's IP Address Reservation. Reservations are set ON the router. Static is set ON devices themselves.

         

        There is a problem with official release FW. There is a beta if you feel you need it. 

         

        Most likely new NH app versions will not work with older versions of FW>
