Nighthawk app same "firmware not updated" when it is the correct version
I am unable to connect although I have the correct firmware version. Probably an App issue but they need to get this fixed.

Hi JoeM11,
Thanks for confirming. Your device's firmware is up to date and you should be good to go. I'll have the info forwarded to our App Team to look into the Nighthawk app and request for any changes needed.

Hello JoeM11,
Thanks for the feedback. Would you mind providing the model number of your router, the current firmware version it's on, and the Nighthawk app version you have installed for me to check on this further.
Thanks,
Christian

So it is a real puzzle if an app throws up a message like that.

What is not working?
What does "am unable to connect" mean? Is that the problem?
Is it logging into the modem router with the Nighthawk app? Android? iOS?
