Nighthawk ax5200 router lost access control, is telling me to use "Nighthwak App"
Hello. I blocked a device on my router. I also activated the parental controls. Now this morning, it is telling me that I am not able to access access control from my router (WTF??) and its telling me to use the nighthwak app (This is the spelling they use) And then everything on the app is blocked behind a paywall for nighthawk armor?
Needless to say, this isnt how I envisioned dealing with software for a multi hundred dollar router. How do I enable access control again, there is no setting on the app to do so and attempting to reach it through any part of the web interface tells me to use the app, improperly spelled....
Only a facotry reset will do the trick. Which means that you will need to configure everything again.

Ugh, thats what I was afraid of.
Netgear, please take note. Because of this, I am now hesitant to try any of your offers, promotions or services as I'm now concerned that it will directly conflict with the basic features of the router that I require.
Not exactly a very well thought out implementation I must say.
