It is a nightmare. I am an IT Professional. I have installed 100's of Netgear routers. Never Again. It use to be a simple job. You are either hooked up the router to your computer if the IP address was different than 192, or connected directly to the router through browser. Entered the admin password and you were on your way. Now it wants you to use the Nighthawk app. And if you don't, it reminds you in every 2 seconds, in fact you making your life totally miserable via cumbersome process. On n my Android phone I am full of notifications all day long, all in an effort just to sell me the subscription to Armour application. There is no way to use Nighthawk application without giving you a personal information. Such a pathetic attempt indeed. It is a very silly attempt to generate additional sales and bombard you with emails. At Costco they have several other choices that are as good or better. I will try them. I will never use Netgear again. In this ever-changing industry, as my customers come out for upgrade, I assure you it will never be Netgear products.
