Modem/Router Dilemma
I have a NightHawk C7000v2 modem/router that will not work without my AC-750 Smart WiFi Router model R6400 and when I try to update the firmware that is out of date I keep getting "The information yo...
Thank you for your response. I have the C7000v2 in conjunction with the R6400 because the C7000 won't work as a modem/router. I had Spectrum here to check out my system and didn't have an answer as to why I needed the R6400 . I will note that the C7000v2 is a refurb if that makes a difference. On my NightHawk app, the C7000 always flashes "Update Available" which is why I've been trying to update it, but the app just keeps me going in circles and having to start over. I'm not as advanced as you are so I don't know how to troubleshoot the C7000 to see why that router is inoperative. I appreciate your taking the time to walk me through this.
What firmware version is yours on?
Ignore it on the app. I'd log in through the browser. Easier to manage and more features that route.
You say the "c7000 won't work as a modem/router"? Why not? What error issue do you get? It has more specs than the r6400
