That is not normal behaviour.
What happens when you try to use the browser graphical user interface (GUI)?
Any error messages?
And how are you going about it? Wired? Wifi? IP address? routerlogin?
NightHawk is essentially useless, because MUCH of the Advanced functionality, which is by definition the most important, is not available in the NightHawk App.
Couldn't agree with you more on that front. The App is dumbed down and misses many controls.
Or is this just another example of a Netgear "Upgrade" that is actually a downgrade with stripped out functionality. Moving backwards...
No. What you see is not typical.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". There may be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
