I've upgraded the firmware to the latest release 1.1.6.122 and all my previous settings were completely lost. No port forwarding and the reserved IP addresses in the LAN setup were deleted.
While it was pain having to set the IP reservation table again for my 49 products connected it wasn't the end fo the world.
I am finding however the web interface no longer lets me view access control under the security tab, saying that I now need to use the Nighthawk app which also appears to be hit and miss since the update.
Is anyone having the same issue?
PS. Why does the MK prodcut range not appear in the 'model' drop down box?

What broswer are you using?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

The Nighthawk app really seems to be a hot mess right now. This morning, I looked at the Device Manager and it was showing my two MR60 satellites as Orbi WiFi 6 System AX4200 units, which is new behavior. The IP address of each had changed overnight, too. Not sure if that's normal or not, but I thought I remember it being more stable. It's also showing ghost devices (e.g., "Cisco" with no further info) as connected but offline.

You might start a new post over in the Nighthawk App forum and please include your pictures and current screen captures for review. Pease give device brand and model# information for where you have the app loaded.

All this seems to be a app issue.
