The jury is still partly out on the Nighthawk app. But my initial review isn't good. I just finished setting up a mesh system, and the app has been buggy and fiddly as hell. Several times it told me the router wasn't compatible with the app. If you take more than 60 seconds on a task, a contact support pop-up appears. God forbid you have any other apps open or attempt to switch between them. At the moment, I hope I don't have to use this app often.

Update : The app is still giving me trouble periodically. I find that it will log me out them I'll have trouble logging back in. It would be nice if the app was more user friendly and useful. —------------------ I've noticed that with each new update the app seems to be getting worse. I have notifications that it can't connect to my routers. I don't know why it's so heavily suggested if it's not user friendly or stable at times. I love NETGEAR routers but I strongly dislike the app.

Used to be good. This app doesn't work over half the time. Won't let me turn WiFi off for specific connected devices, gives me an error. Cannot access anywhere and tweak setting, I MUST be connected to the wifi network. Just so many things I was able to do before but now I cannot.
