Nighthawk app not working

Hello.  Just got a Netgear WiFi 6 (router + 1 satellite).  I can't seem to get the Nighthawk app to work.  When I launch it, it just sits at a black screen.  I've tried powering and restarting, uninstall/re-install, even older versions - it just does the same thing - black screen.  Not sure how to proceed with setting up my new router at this point...

Re: Nighthawk app not working

Thank you, Schumaku.  I used an older phone that was able to run the app and managed to get it set up.  Now I bought an additional satellite, and it's not working.  Have another post about this situation... I'm doubting the wisdom of buying the NG mesh setup at this point.  😞

 

Thanks again for the reply.
