The NETGEAR Nighthawk app is a simple-to-use platform for managing all your NETGEAR Nighthawk devices and services. It offers a clear dashboard containing high-level information about your network overall, your Wi-Fi settings, internet speed, parental control and security settings, and more. The Nighthawk app provides convenient access to your NETGEAR router’s features and allows you to manage your network from anywhere.

The Nighthawk app allows you to conveniently access all the various features of your router. For example, if you have a Nighthawk RS700S WiFi 7 Router , you can fully control it, including completely pausing your Wi-Fi and running system updates. The Nighthawk app provides access to set up and monitor Smart Parental Control features for each device. For maximum protection of your network and devices, the Nighthawk app allows you full access and control of your NETGEAR Armor security settings.
