Had to reset my router because I forgot the admin password. I went through the "let's get your router set up" steps 3 times. Got to the "connect to your router" page and selected it, then there's no option to leave that page. Close the app and open it again and you have to start all over again "setting up your router." I'm trying an ininstall-reinstall of the app now. Will update later.

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

I do like the anywhere access and the ability to pause devices. There is a huge problem when it comes to "devices installed". It says None, yet it's on multiple devices when you open another screen. I do not like that it doesn't directly bring me to my armor site, as it gives no way to control my devices, then says, armor not available. Yet, it is. I have been fighting with them over this since July 2023, Weekly reports show no scanned apps, yet it does it every day and updates. Nighthawk UPDATE
