GREETINGS,
MY APP DOES NOT HAVE THE " TEST SPEED" MENU LIKE THE EMAIL SHOWS...CAN I UPGRADE OR AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

When I have it right, the Nighthawk routers supporting the Speed Test have this feature in the QoS Web UI area.
The question was about the mobile app, in particular the iPhone app.
That does not need to do anything more clever than connecting to Speedtest.net.

Again: Routers without QoS don't have the Speedtest implemented - neither on the Web UI, nor can it become magically become available on the App. How difficult is this to understand my friend?
Anfd again: The Speedtest is not impemented on the App - the Speedtest (where it's becoming available as on most Nighthawk routers) is implemented on the router. For once we're not facing an iOS Nighthapw (or Genie) App interop issue 8-)
I understand Netgear customers are confused. And I'm not protecting Netgear for doing ugly things: It's just another confusing "design" desicion - by far not the only one. Netgear is loosing this business completely, leading edge RAX80/RAX120 got features removed which used to be standard for years, from the basic el-cheepo up to the most expensive consumer Nighthawk.
