my first review was in 2020 but now I'm updating my review. it always used to work good but for some reason it's acting up. it doesn't let me log in. and when I do it says can't connect to my router. it tells me to check my router status. but it's fine. I was watching Hulu and my daughter was playing Xbox. the router was fine. but the app didn't want to connect. when I was finally able to connect to it, I tried to connect to the extender I have linked to it. it doesn't want to connect to that.

OMG. You just cannot setup a new router without hassle with this moronic app. I have already plugged in power and ethernet but it still has a looong wait. Updates firmware and tries to connect n one error and you have to reset the device and start all over again. Stupid app and worst possible software. Grow up guys. Be smart. If you cannot detect which network and device your app is connected to, who else will?

My router has been shutting off and on. so I go to the app and it logs me on then immediately logs me back off. I've done all the updates on the app and all the updates in the unit. so i tried to get a live agent with a chat and the AI will not let me.. so I have a piece of junk that I will never buy another nighthawk ever again. I'm going to a Linksys product from now on. do not buy this product or use this app. used to be able to get help-shame
