Solved the Problem

This Nether Nighthawk extender was simple and easy to install, get up running, with excellent Wi-Fi speeds. The WiFi App walked me through this process without issues.

Works like its supposed to

Garbage App

This app is not worth your time using to
manage your internet. Just stick to the web browser, it’ll save you a lot of headaches. Absolute garbage app. Router is fine. Terrible app. Each update just ruins its functionality even further. It actually used to work properly years ago, then it stopped and so I stoped using this garbage app.
