I'm trying to connect my shiny new Nighthawk to Alexa. Alexa keeps saying that she needs for the skill to be connected to Netgear. She sends a card referring me to netgear.com/alexa. My firmware is up to date (Version V1.0.2.10_10.0.29)
The Netgear app is working just fine on my Android phone. The Amazon skill says that my Netgear account is linked.
Step 1 of netgear.com/alexa advises us to enable remote access on your router using Genie. Is this my missing link? Using routerlogin.net (to access advanced settings), I interpret this as checking "Turn Remote Management On" in Advanced> Advance Setup > Remote Management. Is this correct?
Thanks! I was able to connect it by following the instructions you referenced.
I have to confess that I'm a little disappointed in that Alexa opened a guest network that was unsecured. I was hoping that "she" would open the guest network I set up. I think it's better to use the Genie app on my phone (which is actually pretty awesome, BTW!)
