Comments on NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi Router for Android

★★★★★ Vg Em · Jul 17, 2026

I think this App for Net Gear Systems by Bit Defender is awesome. It is an additional monitoring system for your Routers that is on your Phone. It is available for installation when you purchase certain Net Gear Equipment. .:)

★★★★☆ walldoo99 · Jul 16, 2026

That one point, it tells you to enter the pin, but there is no pin to enter. But I only use Netgear they're the only ones I can keep working here after here.

★★★★★ john irish · Aug 23, 2026

Setup was fast and easy... Highly recommend for a fast network .

★★★★☆ Gustavo Nieto · Jul 13, 2026

Remember Homer Simpson's "Everything is Ok" alarm? This app is like that, notification after notification confirming everything is ok, I wish I could configure it to only get notifications of red flags... other than that, pretty nifty to be able to access other useful router features I was used to only be able to access via its internal webpage

★☆☆☆☆ Anthony Montalvo · Aug 16, 2026

Did not work with the NETGEAR Nighthawk Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX30) that I purchased. Tech support was unable to get it to work with the app. So I am deleting the app and returning the router.

★☆☆☆☆ Liam Nguyen · Jul 10, 2026

I don't understand the app. It is slow. Wait for ages then what it does is to set up the Wi-Fi name and the password. I'd rather just open 192.168.1.1 and configure the router. Why do I need this app?

★☆☆☆☆ james johnson · Aug 6, 2026

The most garbage software ever. Constantly my passwords are wrong. Actively blocks my TV, so from connecting to LAN or Wi-Fi. Tells me my security questions are wrong. I literally just completed set up and worst of all took almost 2 hours for me and my ISP to get this thing connected to the internet. Worst app ever. I comprehend setting up a router, but there is nothing in this app for router management. I would recommend using Ai and NOT using their auto set up because it's a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!
