install R7000 router w/o a smartphone
Is there a way of installing a nighthawk router without using a smart phone. Yes! I'm the last smartphone hold out:)
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
SUCCESS! It only took 1010 days, or 2 years, 9 months and 5 days, or was it 24,240 hours to get this guy working. LOL!!!!! Yes I was a young man when I bought this guy on 2019.:) But I"m from the never give up generation. Step back, yes. Give up, not a chance. I also was determined to get this sucker working before I hit that big 8 OH! 😎
I'd like to thank everyone that helped me out. I truly appreciate your time and expertise.
I did have a bit of help from my daughter who finally gave me a big 45 minutes and her time and a Smart Phone. It only took that long because I forgot that I had to use the password that came with the Nighthawk and not my password or the default admin password.
