This is an app for setting up your router. It does exactly that and not a whole lot more. Kinda junk, makes you create an account or sign in if you bought this trash before. I got a free router and used this app to set it up at my mom's. It worked. Took about 45 minutes waiting on this router to find Internet. The app is slow compared to your router it takes it a while to catch up

Terrible. Doesn't work properly. I cannot recommend this to you. I checked again after a few months. The app recognizes my router, but as before it will not log me into my router. I am using the same password as on my PC when I log into my router. This app is aweful. The app can easily be used for initial setup, however, if you have your router already up and running then this app will not let you log into your router. It keeps saying "unable to reach router."

If you are a techy and are looking for a router. Skip the nighthawk. App works well. But there are almost no settings you can tweak. You don't get any control, you cant change port forwarding, you can't chsnge ANYTHING. Not Happy, will be returning. And why do i have hundreds if tracking and data gathering attempts from Optimizely and Urban Airship. Why is it necessary for them to use over 15 different points of information on me!? Plus app is useless for troubleshooting, while also advertising
