I'm trying to setup my RAX54S-100NAS.  I've downloaded the Nighthawk app. I get through the setup but it diverts to the WI-Fi networks on my phone, I choose the Netgear network that's for my router and that's as far as I get. It won't complete the setup.

Attempting to setup/configure a Netgear router using the mobile application has shown to be problematic in many situations.  Experienced Netgear users prefer to configure the router via the web based user interface.  First preference is to connect to your router via an Ethernet cable.  If not available, a Wi-Fi connection should work.  See here for instructions.

I understand your frustration with the setup process. To effectively configure your RAX54S-100NAS router, ensure you're connecting to the router's network, not your phone's Wi-Fi. Once you've selected the Netgear network, proceed with the setup in the Nighthawk app. If you encounter any issues, consult the user manual or visit Netgear's support page. For a more detailed guide, see the blog. Stay patient, and you'll soon have your network up and running smoothly.
