Can't login to router login.net

So I login into the router login, And get all the way to the part where it wants me to put my Netgear account in put when I click email it immediately turns red and says email required but it won't let me type anything into the field same thing goes for the password. I'm trying to do port forwarding and I can't figure out how to do it on the nighthawk app

       Forget the app, and use a web browser?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
    "Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server"?

    You don't need a "Netgear account" to access the router's controls.

     

    Even when you want to use something like "Anywhere Access" on the Nighthawk App, you don't need an email address.

     

    So what are you trying to login to and what are you trying to login in with? There are separate Android and iOS Nighthawk apps.
