Registration is not necessary to setup a router. Nor is using a mobile device and Nighthawk app the best way to go about it. There is no Nighthawk app for a PC.
Registration is just for 90-day support to help you set the thing up and for the warranty support, although even there registration is not required under law.
While Netgear wants everyone to use an app for set up, experienced users prefer doing it with the browser graphical user interface (GUI) with a wired connection between a PC and the router.
