How do I add my RAX120 back to the Nighthawk app?

I accidentally removed my RAX120 from my Nighthawk app on iPhone. The Rax120 still connect to the Internet, but I was unable to add it back to the app to manage it.

How do I add it back?

Tried to add it back from the app menu, new device, Wifi router. But it can’t locate my Rax120 (note i was connecting to the ssid of my Rax120).

  • Have you just tried factory resetting it and starting back from factory?
    Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on

      No, I did not. I know that will work, but then I will lose all my settings on my Rax120.

      It is also weird to do a factory reset, especially when my Rax120 works appropriately. I’m looking for a solution to simply just add it back to the app so I can manage it via the app.

        I've never tried to remove a device from the app. So not sure if you can add it back in. 

        You could always make a backup of your configuration to save time on the reinstall. Plus backups are always good to have.
