Firmware update not showing in auto-update
Hello everyone,
I just bought and installed a Nighthawk MK83 / 3600 router . current version on the rounter web page and iOS app. is V1.1.4.6 and version on the negear site 1.1.5.4 .
Is there a reason for this? I've run the check on the router's webpage and the iOS app and it says there is no update. I know I could download them and do it manually I guess. but I'm trying to avoid that. to not create possible problems. and I think if there is an update available. it should be happening automatically if that is how the router has been set up.
Thank you.
In my experience on here, if you're hardwired in, the manual update has less errors/corrupt firmware issues.
It tends to be when it auto-updates, when done over wifi, or when done via the app that we see corrupt firmware issues.
its why its one of the most frequent recommendations (manual update over hardwired connection)

sometimes the manual update server sees/gets the update before the auto update server.
You can manually update. If you do so, update the satellites first, then the router.
