adding older wifi router to current nighthawk app account

I HAVE A NETGEAR R7900P MODEM AND AC4000 WIFI ROUTER (R8000P) THE MODEM CAN BE ACCESSED WITH THE NIGHTHAWK APP HOWEVER THE OLDER WIFI ROUTER CANNOT BE ACCESSED BECAUSE IT IS REGISTERED UNDER AN OLDER...

So the R7900P is not a modem, it's also a router. 

Have you factory reset the 7900 series router and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser. After it's setup, be sure your mobile device with the NH app is connected to the 7900 series wifi and the app should connect too it. 

 

No need to Yell please. We can hear you fine.

    The R7900p is accessible via the NH app, but the wifi router (nighthawk R8000) is not. My goal is to be able to have them both on the app. Will your steps help accomplish that?
