Nighthawk mobile app x6s

Trying to use nighthawk mobile app on iPhone XR to connect to WiFi router x6s. Walking thru setup it is asking me to join WiFi network name NETGEAR01 instead of my WiFi network. Any idea how to clear this network ssid from my app/phone so it will setup accurately? I deleted app from phone and rebooted modem & router and still no-go. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx!!!

I had to log into the router thru the web portal (192.168.1.1 - net router login) with admin account and upgrade the router firmware from my laptop via a browser. Then I had to forget the ssid/network on my phone and reconnect WiFi. I saw the firmware updates included fix not just for security but also Device detection and gave the upgrade a go. It worked for me.

I see the upgrade brings me to V1.4.1.50_1.3.10.
