I need to know if there is anyway to set wifi on/off button to disable guest network only. That way the admin people can continue to use internet while easily turning off guest access without using the interface, just simply pushing the on/off button
also I have two different nighthawk setups, one at work (x10) one at home (x8) will the app run them both independently
That should work OK. I use the app to control two different routers on two separate networks.
When you are in wifi range of a router it connects to that. When you are away from the router it connects over the Netgear cloud through Anywhere Access.
If you want to check these features in the manual, you may have ti read up on Remote Management. Netgear changes the name.
i can do that tommorrow ... a bit off topic what do we call the setting for reserving time for a device that connects ... I need to reduce that down to 2 hours
I apologize, sometimes I get so vague, cause I can't remember what I knew so I try and describe it in common terms. What I meant to ask is where to find DHCP. In my home network I use DD-WRT so my netgear firmware is not there, just could not remember the terminology. Found the term at 2 am. Today I will open up interface and see if I can find the settings in LAN. I'm over 70 yrs old been a few years since I've done this, if you don't use it you lose it. thanks for your patience, all you all

You won't find much expertise in that around here. Netgear doesn't support third party firmware – it breaks warranties – so expertise is thin on the ground.

Snap. This is usually when we start to reminisce about programming in Fortran or, depending on your origins, Cobol.
yepper did that in the late sixties early seventies, that was light years ago in the computer world, whole different ball game today.
Sooo Thank you for all your help, everything worked, both of us access the system through Anywhere Access and turn on and off the guest wifi as needed, DCHP is set for 2 hours and life is great. Wahoo you all made me look good today, keep up the good work
