Whether used by travelers traveling to remote locations, or as an essential security tool for business travelers, internet access is no longer merely a luxury. Mobile WiFi hotspots have become immensely popular due to the comfort, security and flexibility they provide. NETGEAR offers a range of top quality mobile WiFi solutions, including mobile hotspots, such as the Nighthawk M5 5G WiFi 6 Mobile Router which provides you with maximum flexibility and top level performance. Mobile WiFi hotspot allows you the comfort of having internet access anywhere, anytime. A 'Mobile Router' is a powerful WiFi Hotspot with an included Ethernet port enabling connections for local wired devices. The hotspot broadcasts a signal which allows people near the device to connect their wireless enabled devices to the internet. A WiFi hotspot is a WiFi router or access point, connected to a cellular internet service provider.

Netgear needs a QA department for its app and firmware development.A mobile WiFi hotspot is a portable device, providing internet access on the go. Just stick with the web UI for router management. I do dot know why this app was created or what it’s good for. Given that, this app is entirely and in every way useless (for me at least). It’s a feature offered by Netgear for my router. The web UI flavor of Netgear Genie is still required to perform any meaningful management.īiggest and most fatal flaw for this app: It does not connect locally when the router is configured to use IPv6 and that is nothing short of ridiculous. This app is barely decent and certainly not in any way great or even close to adequate.

There is a good chance you will brick your router if you try to update said firmware using any Netgear iOS app. Connect a computer Ethernet style to the router and update it properly.

I’m using a Nighthawk X6 R8000 (for now -switch to a TP-LINK Archer is imminent)įIRST A WARNING: Everyday, non-technical users need to know that they should never ever update the router’s firmware using any Netgear iOS app. Same review for both Netgear Genie and Nighthawk iOS apps because both are equally useless for the same reason. The fact that now it seems to have issues more than usualīut cannot get this app to stop showing theīecause Google and community net gear is impossible! It does let local network channel changes and basic information about the network grid of devices etc Only this older Genie or most current works I think I found other places it says “this router doesn’t support that feature “Įnough to say that 50percent of this app is broken

This doesn’t mean our Wi-Fi is not working

Suddenly we realize there is an impossible situation to locate simple things in manual or community groups about a icon Wi-Fi shows up too left supposed to be the name of the router according to the manual. The app has gotten worse as certain features stop working or say “router doesn’t support this feature” when it did before/ The old xfinity rental never gave me problems, but since buying this one (to save on my monthly xfinity bill), I can’t even get WiFi in my bedroom, in an 800sq ft apartment, with only a hall way in between the router & my bedroom. I also should ad that the netgear C3700 is not as great as all the reviews claimed. Also my neighborhood had an internet outage and when the internet came back on the genie app only shows the device which I have connected to genie on the network app despite the fact that 2 other devices are connected. So I now have devices that I cannot get back on my network. Also if you “pause internet” on one of the devices on your network, that device disappears from the map.now how do I un-pause internet for that device if it’s not showing? Tried accessing the internet again from that device and will not connect and doesn’t prompt the network to show the device. Well the app takes forever just to log in, the even longer to load any of the features such as the network map if it actually does load. The app features made it very desirable considering I could control what devices can connect & block when necessary.

This app is one of the reasons I bought the netgear C3700.
