I went to the Netgear website that sends me to routerlogin.com or routerlogin.net. I am then instructed to download the nighthawk app and follow the setup instructions only to be told that my device isn't compatible. I have tried to look for an alternative way to change my router admin password but everything says to use nighthawk. My device is older than 90 so I would have to pay to get Netgear support.
