Using Nighthawk app on two devices
Have a Nighthawk X6 R8000 tri-band router. Unit was set up using my smartphone, via the Nighthawk app. Wife also wants the app on her android device, but doesn't seem there is any way two users can share / control the same router. Is this true, or is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks for the reply.
Got it to work by sharing same account, but we can't both be using at the same time. If her app is open, most features don't work on mine - vice versa.

Is this for remote access over the Internet?
Try setting up and sharing a single Mynetgear account. This is the "glue" that connects the wifi device to the router over the Internet.
