Nighthawk M2

The Home and Back buttons on my nighthawk appear to have stopped working.  Will reseting the router help?

  • The touch buttons "back" and "home" (most likely capacitive) buttons have very low sensitivity. They do not respond to a simple press with a finger, it is necessary to provide a large capacitive connection with the router. It is enough to take the router in your hand and then these buttons will work. You can also touch the metal part of the USB connector of the router with your finger and the buttons will work. Another way to ensure the capacity of the router relative to your body is to connect it to charging from a power supply or USB port of a PC.
