Troubleshooting
If you’re having problems with the installation, try the following:
- Turn off your modem and router and disconnect them. Restart your modem. Reconnect your router to your modem, and try installing with the Nighthawk app again.
- If you’re still unable to install your router using the Nighthawk app, manually install it using the router web interface. Visit http://www.routerlogin.net to access the router web interface.
If you already own another NETGEAR router and you used the Nighthawk app before, go to the dashboard and tap
> NEW SETUP to install your new router.
