So i click "try again" and it takes me to the create an account page.
I click the log in hyperlink cause i have an accout.

Thanks for following up on this. (Damn!) The Forum continues to provide new experiences.
When I do a Factory Reset on Netgear devices, there is often a step offering to Register the product. Since the product was registered when first installed, I skip this step. Could that be what is happening here?
Perhaps a silly question: is this being done with a computer and web browser, or with the Nighthawk 'app'?
