NETGEAR Nighthawk - WiFi App for Positive User Reviews

Update 2.5.0.47I don’t know what you did with this update, but you made it slower (a lot !) and more fragile..Version: 2.5.0.47

So far so goodI had trouble setting up my firewall but then I caved in and used the app recommended for my smart phone. Using the app was the magic ticket. The device feels flimsy if compared to Cisco products. However it is just sitting there so no harm should occur. Our home is not large and I get better reception than my previous router. There are a few quirks which I have not figured out yet. We have multiple devices, 2 printers, 4 iPads, 3 smart phones, 2 computers, but I have not worried or encountered any problems thus far while running multiple items simultaneously. I ran a test from my smart phone and I get a decent speed although I realize that the app may be biased. The unit does put out some heat but not enough to worry about. So far a good product. I just wonder how long it will remain cutting edge before I am forced to spend another huge chunk of cash..Version: 2.4.1.20

Historically speakingI’m not a “techy” by nature or even technologically apt. Whatever gadgets I get, particularly within the realm of electronics and more specifically computers, it either works or it doesn’t. I leave identifying root causes for the professionals. But what I DO understand is historical references. Such as, where is it today compared to where it was, what trends developed over a period of time and the causes and effects that may have contributed to those trends. So when I saw you can place information such as the upload and download speeds into its “history”, I figured that would give me a nice visual into to peaks and valleys of performance. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. In fact, the “history” might as well be removed as a tool. Because (unless you test your system multiple times a day or week - which is an indication into either your system requiring attention or your OCD condition), it’s more or less just a snapshot. Because all of the other tests you’ve done last week, last month - all the way to when the system was first installed, are erased. Please make the history feature useable and practical or make it disappear, like all of the data that I’ve accumulated over time that I can’t see..Version: 2.9.0.13

Well designed app and functionsGot my Nighthawk router based on recommendations and not only am I impressed with the router, this app is extremely helpful. Naming devices, changing passwords, all a breeze on this app..Version: 2.4.20.10

Great 👍I’m glad to have a NETGEAR Extender help me get a connection with network in my room, just two weeks ago I have issues with the connection between my room and the NBN network, now I’m having a great wifi network connection and thank you for the technology from NETGEAR extended..Version: 2.10.5.17

Firmware UpdatesFrom day one I’ve had problems with the latest firmware updates. Used Customer Support ( only good for 3 months) to fix issue. Naturally the Netgear App would not install latest firmware, so I had to attempt it with Laptop to Router via Ethernet cable. 6 hrs later , I had given up , when I rebooted, discovered it had been updated to latest version. But now months later , I see I’m outdated again Regardless that I have app to do it for me. This causes inconsistencies with my Ring, Internet, TVs, etc. Rebooting probably every other day! I also went through 3 Routers before I found one that didn’t have Gremlins in it. NOTE: After months of Rebooting and resetting my Ring Cameras. About 6 of them , we decided to pull of the Roku Deluxe WIFI box and go back to Comcast Cable again. The Roku being out has practically Eliminated all of the WIFI drop-outs on my Router and Modem.*****. Roku uses WiFi-Direct to connect some remotes, which utilize and broadcast on the same channel that it receives internet from. The result is that there will be interference, even on 5 GHz, causing other devices to either drop the signal intermittently or fail to connect, or lower bandwidth..Version: 2.12.5.56

Nighthawk RAX70Easy setup via app. Impressed with speed 👍.Version: 2.22.0.247

Nice, but needs more…This is a great app if it was standalone. The basic information that is needed about your home network is readily available. This gives you a piece of mind to see what’s going on with your network whenever and wherever. But there are some very frustrating things that need addressed, and that is the Circle app. I wouldn’t be too upset if this was a free app, but considering that it is an expensive service that you just pay for, I was expecting more. The Circle app provides parental controls. This is great, no doubt. However, there is no transfer of data from the Nighthawk app to the Circle app. Meaning, once you set up all device names in the Nighthawk app, they do not transfer to the Circle app. This is so frustrating. The Circle app only shows each device’s MAC address and not the IP address, and this makes it much harder to get each device set up. If there was a data transfer from Nighthawk to Circle, it’d be much more user friendly. The lack of data transfer is like a car dealership selling you a year of SiriusXM radio, but your car doesn’t recognize the channel names, only the channel number. Other than that, I am a big fan of Netgear and their products. I have always used Netgear and will continue to do so..Version: 2.13.1.4

Works PerfectlyI had the old version of this App and updated immediately. The update went without any problems at all and I immediately got a reconnection to my XR500 router. All the settings ect work without any problems at all, in fact the App works quicker than before. Not sure what the problems other users are having are caused by but my update was done on an iPad not a computer and as I said works like a dream. That’s why I always buy from Netgear, great Apps and support for the products I’ve bought. By the way I don’t work for or have anything to do with Netgear I’m just your everyday iPad/computer user with not a great deal of knowledge about routers ect so I’m happy when these things update and work without any bother..Version: 2.1.3.3

Terrible appNetgear makes it extremely hard to connect a new router - the browser login page has security issues - the app takes several attempts to work - not intuitive at all - I feel TP-Link does a better job - this interface is just very lacklustre it needs an uplift.Version: 2.3.6.7

Reviews on iOS app issueI’ve seen reviews that talk about the iOS app having problems I had problems with 2 days after downloading it while I was setting it up there was an option to disable remote connection which I did because I’m a lot more security conscious than most 2 days later I had issues I searched forums and did a forced update using my pc like the forums said it did nothing so I factory reset the router and started from scratch and I left the remote connection enabled and I no longer had the prior issue everything is working fine. I suggest if other’s have this issue not to over think it sometimes the easiest solution is the simplest and is the last thing you think of I know that because that’s the last thing I think of..Version: 2.25.0.44

Use NighthawkI first installed without using the recommended Nighthawk App. which was very quick and simple. Then decided to reset the app and use the Nighthawk method. This too was very quick and simple. Would totally recommend the app as allows you to see which devices are using the extender and whether they using 5 or 2.4 channels. You also get a Speedtest device included..Version: 2.7.2.19

Netgear Nighthawk Mesh wifi 6The ios app did not work well. Scanning the barcode did not work initially. The alternative instructions for manual set-up should have been clearer - that aspect deserves only 3 stars. That said, since successfully setting it up - router plus two satellites - the system has worked very well, giving extremely fast speeds throughout a large house..Version: 2.9.6.0

Stops working when cache builds upFollowing a software update this app just crashes every time I try and log in. Now I can’t manage my router or devices using it from the app at all. Very disappointed. Update After going onto forums I discovered others had the same issue and it seems to stop working due to a build up of cache. I deleted the App and reinstalled it and now it is working again. This explains why it worked on my iPad for longer, as I used it less, then they both stopped working. It’s a good app when working..Version: 2.5.0.47

Good product, fast set upThere are a few issues with networked devices and casting that could be improved. However, the hardened security, fast set-up and excellent coverage are just excellent. The system makes great use of our bandwidth. The app could expose more advanced features from the browser, seen on other devices and hover guides would help..Version: 2.12.0.22

Disappointed with Netgear in general.I have been using the Netgear Genie app for a couple of years. The Nighthawk app is ok, but it doesn’t have a refresh for when my kids are turning on theirs devices to be “unpaused”, so I still use the Genie app. I would really like to see all devices that have an IP address assigned to them in my device list. Then I could “unpause” them before they are actually connected. I would also like to see a time limit for certain devices. This is the concept with products like Circle. It would be nice if my router did those things so I would not have to buy yet another router to get that capability. I am aware that Circle is available on certain Nighthawk routers, but not all and the one that it is available on is far inferior to the product I have. I hate that I had to buy the more expensive model without the parental controls I wanted because the router with the controls didn’t work in my house. I fully expected Netgear to upgrade the better routers but that has not happened in well over 2 years. In all I would not choose Netgear again. There are other routers on the market that have parental controls built in and on several models. I hope to switch soon..Version: 2.2.0.63

We’re here to help, let’s see shall we????App update and system firmware update has resulted in disappointment. Satellites not showing any connected devices in the app when the system is in a backhaul situation, but when you go onto desktop pc you can see the devices connected. I would like to downgrade the software to get things working properly again but the app just keeps banging on about updating the firmware to the latest version. Then to add insult to injury the update just bangs on about paying for additional features..Version: 2.15.1.2

Easy and brilliantFull marks to netgear the router is unbelievable.Version: 2.27.0.77

After new update speed test doesn’t work nowAfter new update speed test doesn’t work very important to see if cable company is giving what you are paying for please advise and fix ASAP or I may have to give two stars instead of five being you team should have checked all things involved on update to make sure we do not have to write you about something not working. You routers are sold as high end and a little pricey to have issues like this and yes it’s the little things Like the speed test not working after last update which as you say to make sure cable company’s are giving us what we are paying for . I have two nighthawks one 7800 the other 6900 I did update on 7800 Speedtest not working 6900 I did not do update speed test still working so please fix ASAP.Version: 2.6.4.13

Slick interfaceOffers a good overview of router status and features. No advanced settings controls , you’ll need the browser interface for that. Looks very slick though, one of the nicest guis.Version: 2.16.0.299

Latest Update Goofed Up Device MansgementWe have 11 devices attached to our Nighthawk but after this last update it’s showing two, three and even four of the same connected device. For example my iPhone is showing up 3 times. The app is showing a total of 55 connected devices. A major glitch in the update. Very glitchy at best after App 2.11.6 update Can barely find the router and wouldn’t do the last firmware update OTA. I had to do it manually. Netgear really needs to get the App straightened out. Update: After this latest update the Devices Manager won’t load at all. I keep getting an error message. This function has never worked properly for me. Previously it would load the same device 3 and 4 times. Now it won’t load anything. Netgear needs to straighten out this function or remove it completely..Version: 2.14.0.301

Good app once the router has been setup manually!I couldn’t automatically set up my router using this app and so I spent an hour on the phone with support with my RSP to resolve the issue. I had to set up the router the old fashioned way using an Ethernet cable and a laptop. After it was setup, using the app was a breeze. It has limited functionality (you will need to log on to the router’s config page using a browser to do things like set up port forwarding) and, it tries to sell you subscriptions but apart from that, it is quick and easy to use..Version: 2.12.5.56

The developer listenedI am delighted to see that in this most recent update, Netgear have opted to change the rules of the app so that you no longer are required to give your location data. It is rare for a developer to change a feature based on feedback let alone with a couple of weeks, so I have to applaud them for that. The app is not by any means perfect, but it is certainly useful for some quick changes and checks!.Version: 2.4.10.11

Biggest nighthawkSeems pretty good? But why do I have to restart so often- what's that all about??.Version: 2.2.10.11

Excellent The Best Router on the marketExcellent Router, can highly recommend. My experience is that one is best to ALL WAYS choose NETGEAR devices..Version: 2.19.1.6

Great outcomeTook me a while to get hooked up upstairs but after a long start, it was a great outcome. What did I do that wasn’t in the instructions: I needed to come down closer to the existing router to get all the settings in cache. I used the WPS a setup to speed things up (rather the the app). Once connected - I could then set up all my devices using the app. Then I went back upstairs and everything just connected easily. Have I increased my wifi speed five fold. Brilliant.Version: 2.9.6.0

Much improvedThanks Netgear for realising the importance of a good app for the hardware that you produce. Much improved over the old version. One issue that seems unresolved is, when updating icons of devices on the network. When the app is relaunched the custom changes a user has made are not retained. This is somewhat frustrating. I'm using the app with an R7000 running the latest firmware..Version: 2.4.1.20

Great app, great interface - good UIEasy to use - all key functions in the app and well thought through from an App Design and Ux perspective.Version: 2.4.1.20

"Effortlessly Manage and Monitor Your Network with Nighthawk App"As an avid user of the Nighthawk app, I can confidently say that it is one of the best network management apps out there. The app is extremely user-friendly and offers a wide range of features that make it easy to manage and monitor your network from anywhere. One of the standout features of the app is the ability to set up and manage your network with just a few taps on your smartphone. With Nighthawk, you can easily configure your network settings, create a guest network, and even set up parental controls to keep your kids safe while browsing the internet. Another great feature of the Nighthawk app is its real-time network monitoring capabilities. With the app, you can easily view your network's bandwidth usage, connected devices, and even monitor network health and performance. This is particularly helpful for those who rely on their network for work or entertainment and need to ensure that their network is running smoothly at all times. Overall, I would highly recommend the Nighthawk app to anyone who is looking for an easy-to-use and powerful network management tool. Whether you're a tech-savvy user or just someone who wants to keep their network running smoothly, this app is definitely worth checking out..Version: 2.24.0.44

Improved but …New firmware for iPhone 20 Sep 22 and can connect to router again from remote location. Thanks. At the moment we have to reboot nighthawk every night for one minute or it jams. Let’s see if this fixes it. —————- Will Set up from an iPad and all going well until asked to connect a cable to the router? How does that work? So had to connect a MacBook and do it from them once I had logged into the router so ease of install was looking good but it wasn’t. App never even asked to insert the SIM card so did not but browser connect by cable did. FW upgrade worked well which is a major improvement from previous delink model which always failed upgrades. So 3 stars only..Version: 2.20.0.325

Great app for complexity of devicesIt’s never easy setting up network devices - just set up an extender using this. Was reasonably simple (as it can be). One hint: when you setup, don’t have ANY other devices on the network (includes TVs etc…) as it seemed to disrupt the setup right at the end, so I had to factory reset device and re setup, which worked a treat 😀.Version: 2.13.1.4

Useful appIt accesses the router very quickly and although not as comprehensive in control as logging on it get you to the most commonly used settings easily. One wrinkle, my trial of Bitdefender Armour expired. I paid the money and renewed confirmed success on my PC by logging in to the router however try as I might the app insists its expired..Version: 2.4.12.4

Mostly goodWe got this router hooked up 3 days ago. The speed is incredible. Yesterday it connected to our many many devices without a problem. Everything worked seamlessly. Today, some devices connected right away and some are hit and miss. Not sure the issue. But it’s good when it works well..Version: 2.20.1.12

So far, excellent performance...but iPad app should be in landscapeTitle says it all!.Version: 2.8.1.0

Nighthawk and Netgear ExtenderSet this up today using iOS app. Awkward to start with and not working properly but eventually discovered that there was interference from extenders from a different maker. Hopefully will get the hang of it in due course and it will be worth the expense..Version: 2.19.1.6

Poor AppAdded 4 MS60 satellites to my MR60 router and app goes crazy! Designed to only manage 3 satellites on the network map screen (confirmed by Netgear support) does not allow for correct management of all satellites! Occasionally displays prompt to view full list of attached satellite then displays phantom satellites along with actual satellites! Unplugging satellite 1 finally shows satellite 4 with completely wrong details! App and website both display different information about any single satellite! App also displays the wrong MAC address of several satellites, last few digits do not match! Get these issues fixed and app I would rate at 5 stars not 1 star..Version: 2.17.0.174

Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System with 2 Satellite ExtendersFound this product easy to install with the Nighthawk App. Fast speeds obtained and system extends to adjoining villa with strong internet speeds. I recommend this product. However the Speedtest option stopped working after 3 months. Mintotiger.Version: 2.13.1.4

Good, but needs improvements1. Won’t connect to my router locally sometimes (yes, I’m connected to my WiFi network, and yes, local network access is allowed for this app on my phone, and no, I don’t use a VPN) 2. Device names keep reverting to their defaults after I’ve changed them; is this normal? 3. QoS settings would make a great addition to this app, plus more of the settings available from the router URL.Version: 2.17.0.174

Latest update issuesUnable to login to router settings since latest update. Please provide a fix..Version: 2.3.5.20

Easy Setup Easy to UseSimple plug in to modem follow the setup instructions and your done. Have given names to all devices on the network so I can easily see guests and devices that don’t belong and set the priority of network access for devices. Very simple interface..Version: 2.2.8.13

App stopped workingInstallation went all fine. The equipment was working fine. I logged into the extender AC1750 on the web page and made a couple of changes and now the App has stopped working with message unable to connect. But the whole App no longer works. No access to devices, or internet speed test etc. So frustrating. So now I will try delete the App and re-install to see if that fixes the problem..Version: 2.5.1.10

Nighthawk AX1800 wifi 6 routerGreat piece of equipment…. Setup was the easiest I have experienced and was able to keep the old network name and password ……. So easy !!.Version: 2.15.0.214

Incroyablement user friendlyJ’adore l’application et le router!.Version: 2.19.1.6

DevicesUsed to show me name of devices. Now I have to check Ip addresses of each device and manually name them. I have WiFi lights, multiple phones and tablets, smart TV’s, etc and its a pain, especially when IP address changes on each device. The only work around is manually input each device to their original IP address I named. Stupid. Ever since last firmware update to allow smart connect constantly causes multiple devices to drop main combined WiFi connection. Drops everything it changes to a different channel and takes about 5 min for combined smart connect name to reappear and reconnect. Turn off smart connect and it’s even worse. Latest update limits my option to assign devices to 2.4 or 5 bands. A lot of potential and I see where they are trying to accomplish but there’s too many bugs to be releasing and using us as guinnie pigs to work out their bugs..Version: 2.3.1.37

Super easy and super fastHaving used the Orbi pro for some time this is super easy and quick to setup and get going. Will have to see if it delivers the same coverage and speed as my old Orbi pro. Looks good at first impressions..Version: 2.10.0.16

UsefulEasy to use and understand..Version: 2.0.1.12

Superb quick easy to useFound the process to set &use easy & fast the app is a great device to have..Version: 2.15.1.2

Nighthawk AX5 RAX43Great piece of kit for average home user, wifi is now way superior to our old ISP router. Simple to set up, BUT connect to your old router first, with all other devices removed. Make fir seamless connection and setup. Once all new settings are made plug into your fibre box and you’re away. Great to have seperate normal and guest networks with no interference or latency between the two. Was going to get the RAX80, but for coin, this is perfect for home. Great work Netgear.Version: 2.11.0.11

New customerHi I set up my R7000 router but the devices attached only show 1 bar no matter if the 1 meter away or 10 meters away can you explain why? The devices are not struggling but I’m getting the wrong impression.Version: 2.12.0.22

New version forces you to make accountYet another app that you can no longer use unless you sign up for an account at Netgear, yet another login and password that can be hacked or stolen when their database gets compromised. If it can happen to Adobe then it can happen to Netgear, their routers are full of bugs, why should we believe they can secure a database when they can’t even secure their routers! AVOID THIS UPDATE, app now deleted from all my devices, router for sale on the bay if anyone wants one..Version: 2.8.1.0

Very impressedI found the Netgear App for my Nighthawk router so user friendly and intuitive. Haven’t been impressed enough with an App to write a review before..Version: 2.7.2.19

NetgearNew gaming router is amazing’ and the iPhone app rocks .👍👍👍.Version: 2.2.8.13

Upload UpdateWent to install my New Netgear R6400 v2 WiFi Router. The instructions were not clear that I had to register before system would operate. Figured it out by trying to locate technical assistance: as I uploaded the Nighthawk app and it stepped me through a registration process. The biggest problem after looking for this tech assistance for over 20 minutes, was trying to load the suggested firmware update. Although it said 2-3 minutes I waited over 40 minutes while the progress indicator spun and spun. No way to back out had to start all over and skip the update. Very frustrating. This took hours it should have taken 10 minutes. I am 62 but have an engineering degree & have rebuilt computers as well as auto engines. This should not have been so difficult. Ease of Tech assist access is paramount to your customers overall satisfaction..Version: 2.2.6.16

Great productHad my Netgear Nighthawk now for two years and love it as so reliable. Love the App as well, keep up the good work.Version: 2.13.0.79

Nice ui butStill missing key features like upgrading firmware area that I had in previous app.Version: 2.3.5.20

Nighthawk x65 ex8000What a piece of kit, cannot emphasise enough, could never get WiFi in garage and had tried assorts plugs you name it, I’m with Virgin so get great broadband into the house. I’ve just installed it and now get a speed of 155mbps into the garage!! Does better than I ever hoped, fantastic, Expensive but you get what you pay for I guess..Version: 2.7.6.3

ExtenderSeems to be going well now. It was difficult constantly getting messages of unable to join existing Wi-Fi system. Finally it worked and seems to be working well now..Version: 2.10.5.17

Great bit of kitGreat, easy to use app. Heaps of useful features..Version: 2.4.6.1

OwnerMakes life a bit simpler.Version: 2.21.1.354

So easy to useIt is my fist time to set up the wifi router. I have little idea of how the whole thing fit together. This app provides clear and easy to follow instructions. I have set up the router without any help..Version: 2.6.7.0

Naming devices problemThe app/router doesn’t appear to retain the icon types that you can choose for each device. Not sure if this is a bug but it needs ironing out because being able to choose an icon for each device is pretty helpful. Other than that, great app. I’ll re-rate once the developer fixes this issue. Thank you..Version: 2.3.7.6

Exceptional productEasy to set up. Not difficult at all. Would highly recommend this product for people having difficulty with their wifi..Version: 2.15.0.214

Possibly too early to tellEarly days, but so far so good. The app simplified syncing the 𝗪𝗶𝗳𝗶 extender to the hub. Currently only shifting it twice since boot up, before happily working. Relatively effortless so far..Version: 2.7.0.27

No landscape modeApp works well, but doesn’t allow landscape mode. I use my ipad 99% of the time in landscape, so have to use the app exclusively on my phone instead..Version: 2.21.0.332

NETGEAR nighthawk Rax 80NETGEAR consumer products are overpriced it sounds American but their quantity is like a children’s toy very poorly made cheap linear low density plastic instead manufacturing a harder gorilla tough product. Flip down wings are soft hollow I gave 5 star for the sake yankee brand. If comparing to tp-link archer VR2800 this has a better value for money and it has better performance. NETGEAR research and development is outsourced..Version: 2.22.0.247

Spot OnHave been using the app. for 2wks beginning with using it to set up my Netgear router. No problems, everything worked as it should & supremely easy to use. Long may it continue to work this well. Good work Netgear..Version: 2.12.5.56

NyrebaVery easy to install Don’t need any extender in our large double brick house. Great Router had others but didn’t do what this one does Really great product and price Highly recommend.Version: 2.4.0.33

Amazing - Does everything I want!This is really great app for my netgear app router and literally does everything I could ever ask for in such a convenient manner. Love the overall design and look of the app and the overall support feature is extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend if you have a netgear router and do not have the app installed already!.Version: 2.2.4.26

NETGEAR ReviewThis is a beast of a modem/router. Glad I purchased and this app just lets me control everything especially when I’m not at home. Really ideal if you have unwanted guest using it and the parental lock is awesome. Would definitely recommend this to everyone..Version: 2.2.9.10

Needs Fine TuningThe app generally works well, but it’s feels a little slow, even on the 12ProMax. The interface is simple, but lacks a bit more fine tuning. The device list is handy but needs a few more different icons to choose from to help customise and future troubleshooting. One gripe I really have is that the router tries to guess what the device is... please stop this, it gets it so wrong. After I added all my devices I noticed that it seemed to label a lot of the devices the same, making it difficult to find what the device is. FYI, the app kept saying I was disconnected from the router (I wasn’t, I tested it and also the wifi symbol stayed on) but when I turned off the iPhone setting ‘wifi assist’ this issue stopped. (My speed test was 53Mbps at the time so I know my connection was good)..Version: 2.9.5.14

R7900 nighthawk router Device namesAfter this update to the application, both nighthawk app and genie no longer recognize any device names. If you try to add a device name to the IP address, it will add the name of the device you added to multiple different IP address is that do not have a device name on it. It changes The device names if on there as well when you try to add them to another IP address. Developers, please check your program quoting as something is missing that prohibits you from adding that device name to the IP addresses. Unfortunately next year does not offer direct customer contact support and steers due to their neck your community for answers from other customers and users. That is not a good quality customer support from a company of the size as many users aren’t aware of how the product was developed or how it is programmed on the software..Version: 2.2.13.2

Amazing productI have been using this for past 4 days now. I would like to say it is pretty good at what it does. I like the simplicity of the setup and convenience of the mobile app. It let’s you manage devices and scans every time a new device joins your network. Vulnerability scan is doing a good job. We had to convert our previous modem come router to bridge and then connect, once connected it works seamlessly..Version: 2.5.4.0

Net gear ax1800Great unit, very good upload and download speed compared to the standard Nz spark modem(3x faster). Only drawback was when setting up it wouldn’t connect to the internet because the w lan settings where wrong for Nz and had to pay a tech to input the correct settings. Please include the settings for each country and how to change them or just pre set them before sending them out. Would make the product perfect and the customer would be able to connect and use the router straight away. Lose one star for the incorrect w lan settings.Version: 2.13.1.4

Outstanding value for moneyNighthawk is so easy to install and setup. It offers outstanding value for money and gives superb internet access over a wide area without cabling. Absolutely brilliant..Version: 2.9.5.14

Easy to useI used the Nighthawk App to help install a Netgear Mesh Extender and it made the job super easy with a few simple steps. The only thing worth noting is this, after you plug the device in and turn on the power, wait a good few minutes before launching the App. If you try to early, the setup process doesn’t automatically start the way it should. Be patient 🙂.Version: 2.7.0.27

Persistent problems with 2.4 GHzContinue to have problems with the 2.4 channel - as seems to be the case for many people. The 5.0 channel is fine, but we have a number of devices which cannot use it. Nothing seems to be available to fix the problem. Very frustrating!.Version: 2.2.6.16

Great Product but very poor instructionsI bought this to improve my WiFi signal as a my Virgin router signal is rubbish. Installed easily and now works extremely well signal is amazing but there are no instructions on how to tune the aerials and no instructions on any other configuration possible.Version: 2.7.0.27

Requires Account - But...Ok, I had a rant when this app first came out because it replaced Genie and requires a Netgear account where Genie did not. I’m against creating accounts with vendors unless it’s for a very desirable service or one that you must have. As it turns out, for me, the Netgear service with this app fits into the “very desirable” category. That said an account with Netgear is still not necessary to provide external modem access. I remain unhappy about that. Now that I’ve had my rant I can say that the app is very good. It has worked flawlessly for me and provides all the basic features you’d want to control from your mobile device. This includes checking network details of connected devices and disconnecting them if desired, router updates and reboots, managing parental controls and more. It is also presented in a very tidy looking user interface. So, it’s four stars from me. The minus one is because of the need for an account, without Netgear having justified why this is necessary..Version: 2.3.7.6

Good appBring back the ability to edit and name devices and Their icons so that I can use it for new devices to easily see what is connected.Version: 2.8.1.0
