Nighthawk app is back to its old tricks - Logon timed out, please try again!
We can't every time a supplier messes up the firmware, throw the Router out and buy a new one!

The R7000 is getting a bit aged, it was released in 2013 and is almost a decade old. If your reliant on the app, it might be worth investing in something from this decade. Or using the browser instead. I've never been the biggest fan of the app as it doesn't have all the settings/features I'd like to see
Thanks for the advice - appreciated. Sad that the local suppliers sold it to me a couple of years ago as a current model.
Re the app, you are right, browser is easier to use with all the settings - app used only in emergencies or for quick reference - thus not a train smash.
It would be nice though, until I invest in a new model, to get the settings page not to be disjointed.
Which router do you recommend?
(It would be a bonus if it had Readyshare though!
Thanks
What router would I recommend. Thats a challenge. Because the forums is where we always see people reporting issues so it makes us a bit bitter at a lot of the routers. But if you read any router makers forum, you'll find issues with them all. (most are based on similar chipsets/hardware).
What I'd recommend doing is figuring out what you need and going a step or 2 above that.
What size is your home?
What materials is it made from?
What speeds do you pay for?
Do you think you'll be upgrading speeds at some point or getting fibre/etc?
Do you game? Streaming a lot of shows?
My recommendation would be based around those answers as some people a single router solution is fine. For others, I push for mesh systems. mesh might not be able to hit the same peak speeds but they provide much better speeds over a larger area. I've got both flagship routers and mesh systems and even though the flagship routers are faster, I still end up going back to mesh.
Thanks
I will do some research.
