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.

The app has gotten worse over the last year or so. Recently I tried to remotely access my R7000 router to reboot it, but it looks like it's no longer an option. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but now it keeps saying something went wrong with logging in. Now I can't use the app at all. I reset my password, just in case. Newp...not the issue. Firmware is up to date. If remote access is a necessity, I suggest looking at other manufacturers. Logging in remotely via web browser is gone too...

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.
