Model RAX48 - problem with Nighthawk

When I open Nighthawk, I see that the app connects to the router.  Then a few seconds later, I get the "Unable to Connect to Router" message. I do not know why this is happening, as it seems to be connected, but this message keeps popping up.  Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Model RAX48 - problem with Nighthawk

Are you referring to the Nighthawk app? 

What mobile platform are you using? Apple or Android? If apple, disable WiFi Private IP address on the phone:

Ensure Local Network is enabled under the NH app as well:

What FW is loaded on the router?

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
