Picked up mine yesterday & had similar installation issues. Showed internet as connected but would not recognise wifi/devices. Nighthawk app did nothing for installation - got to checking internet and spun endelessly.
Went onto my ISP (iinet) web site & checked support pages - it had this device listed and step-by-step instructions in how to enable it.
Followed those instructions (which were very easy to understand) - just meant making some changes to the router settings.
Once that was completed, eveyrthing connected immediately!
Been no issue since - and gotta say - fantastic speeds throughout my entire apartment, even on the balcony. No more issues with streaming services on TV or lagging on all devices.
