400 Bad Request during setup wizard
Router: XR500 Pro Gaming
Firmware: XR500 V2.3.2.114
So today my router crapped out on me. We had a power outage for about 5 minutes. When the power came back on, the router acted as if it had been reset. When I tried to access the web-based control panel, it brought me to the setup wizard. Everything worked fine until I got to the section where it asks me to change the Admin password and to set security questions. I filled out the information, and when I clicked "Next" I got the 400 Bad Request error. I retried multiple times, got the same error. I then did a factory reset, and tried again. Same results. I eventually got through the wizard by means of the Nighthawk App for Android.
I'm not posting this for an answer, more to let the issue be known. I did a web search and found many people had the same issue.

- Unplug the router from power for 10 minutes, that will let residual power drain. Then plug it in and wait 2 minutes before accessing, then see if you can complete the wizard.
