Nighthawk control od router
Trying to get Nighthawk to control router. It will not connect eventhough smartphone does connect. Tried going through settings. They were OK. Any ideas would be most welcome. Thank you.

1. you have the r7000?
2. what firmware is on it?
3. what modem/gateway is it connected to?
4. what actual error do you see when it tries to connect?
5. are you able to connect through the browser (not the app)?

All is good. I have line of sight internet. The antenna attached to roof tiles. A 60 mph wind slightly repositioned the antenna
Then this week a 100 mph wind blew the antenna down. When the antenna was reattached the line of sight signal was maximized. Then Nighthawk worked just fine. I am now able to control my router with my Mobil phone. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your concern.
