setup

Everthing I read about the setup for this starts with "Download the Nighthawk app to your smartphone."

I don't have a smartphone, and have no plans to get one. 

Now what? How do I set this up?

   For the non-psychics in your audience, what, exactly, is everything
you read?

 

> Now what? How do I set this up?

 

   I don't know how _you_ do it, but some people have met with some
success using this oft-neglected concept:

 

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
"Use a Web Browser to Access the Router".  Further reading might not
hurt, either.

 

   Even the Quick Start guide explains where to find "user manuals".
It's not a well-kept secret.

Re: setup

Thank you for your sarcastic, condescending answer; it was very helpful.
