I get "issues connecting to.." Error
This is so frustrating!!!! I don't understand what's tiny on with my app but everytime I connect to the right network I still cannot get it to detect my nighthawk router!!! I have tried set up 2xs and I did detect one time then suddenly stopped. Is there a better way to just get this firmware update besides using the app?

Has your (unspecified) "my nighthawk router" a model number? Look
for "Model" on the product label.> Model: A6200|802.11ac Dual Band WiFi USB Adapter
Not a router.

_Which_ "this firmware update"? Are you trying to do a firmware
update?Forget the (unspecified) "my app", and use a web browser? Visit
http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "firmware".

Note that many people recommend using a computer with a wired
connection to the router for this, rather than any wirelessly-connected
device.- Ok cool. Yes I realized that about the type of model. It's an R6230 nighthawk dual-band router.
I am going to go to my pc to install firmware on my device. And I'm going to forget about the app, right? If that's so I appreciate your help. 🙂 - Yes firmware update. I got an ema6from Netgear about it.
