I just downloaded the app on my smartphone and upon installation and setup it says my Nighthawk router is not compatible (R7500v2).
What is the problem?

Re: Nighthawk App (formerly up)
The r7500v2 was recently updated to Firmware Version 1.0.3.36. The change logs says that this update allows the router to work with the app.
I think Netgear needs to update the app in order to support the router because I'm having the same issue.

Re: Nighthawk App (formerly up)
Thank you! That completely answers the question. My Nightawk AC2350 router R7500v2 is not on the compatability list for the Nighthawk App.

Perfectly correct - https://kb.netgear.com/000059531/R7500v2-Firmware-Version-1-0-3-36 release notes state
New Features and Enhancements:
- Supports the Nighthawk app version 2.1
And (for example) the Android version of the Nighthawk App is on some v2.2 for a while already.
@DarrenM ... what gives?
@AbhayB ... more problems, still one big mess, isn't it?

Re: Nighthawk App (formerly up)
This was a mistake in the firmware notes but support for this router is coming soon.

Re: Nighthawk App (formerly up)
Similar problem with the XR450 - all docs does claiming it's supported, however similar message. Disappointing.

Re: Nighthawk App (formerly up)
The Nighthawk app on my iphone stats the XR450 is not supported.
I just purchased the XR450 on Saturday, installed and registed the device last night, and am not able to contact support. The GUI on a laptop is really nice, not so nice on the smartphone safari browswer, so I hope the app will be updated so I can use it on my mobile device.
