I have a nighthawk mesh wifi 6 router MR80, it stopped working
My router stopped working and my internet provider says it might have reset itself. How done set it back up.
Ok.
Just FYI, you don't have to use the NH app to install the router. There is a link at the bottom of the 1st setup page that you can use a PC and web browser to set it up, next time.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

- Thank you. I ended up resetting and reinstalling the router. I stopped for no reason. But seems like it is fine now. I had to download an app.
Ok.
