Thank you very much, I was able to go into the mobile app, settings, controller, then deselect portal. Then open up local, input ip address with http://ip address, then in next box 80, then admjn for user, and password next.
Saved it and synced. It now works like it should. I submitted a ticket for a refund.
Keeping my fingers crossed, and thanks to everyone for helping me get it working without the portal.
