Nighthawk AX6 AX5400 WiFi Router(RAX50v2) - after firmware update! access to local 192.168.1.1 denie
Hello everyone! I hope you can help out on this. I just upgraded my entire network to 1.2 gps and everything was working well until I did a firmware update on the Nighthawk AX6 AX5400. It will al...
Ain't that the truth. LOL Like in many aspects of our lives. 🙄
Ya I prefer to set up using a wired PC too. Can do that mostly in my sleep now days. LOL
Here to help were I can. I'll pass this on to NG and let them know about this as best as I can.
Let us know how it turns out.
I just loaded my RAX50v2. I let the system AU using the routers web page as it notified me that there was an update. Selected update there. After the router processed the update and was back to ready, I saw it had got to the home screen however when I did a refresh in the browser and the Access Denied appeared in box MS-Edge and Firefox. Pressing the reset button in back for 10 seconds then walking thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser resolve this issue. No saved backup is loaded. Access to routers web page is back.
Yeah. We are the test subjects. LOL! Well, gonna spend a few hours on this factory reset before the firmware update. You know that they were pushing this out and they knew about this bug and so we wait for an update! Not! I did the NH app to test the access but I always connect via RJ45 directly to router to configure as I don't want stuff out there. I like keeping it local.
You rock and thank you so much in your fast response! This community rocks!

Thank you! Did the 10 second reset but still cannot reach 192.168.1.1 via wired connection. Clear cache on browser and even connected to opera which is my test browser and it still going to routerlogin.net and even though I got ICMP packets that I'm connected to gateway & internet with ping at 0% packet lost. So I disconnected my modem and just connected via RJ45 to access it & configure ACL's then did the recycle thing with modem as my WAN verifying packets and then router and viola! It's perfection. So I reset back to factory settings and guess what! There is NO firmware update because inquiring minds want to know and voila again! So it could also be possible that there are no firmware updates because that piece of software has already updated the IC on the board and a reset to default settings needed to happen like a reboot for BIOS algorithm to work with the factory default software. The firmware is still there at V1.1.4.28_2.1.26 which I believe was released on 1/23/24 and figuring out a solution to update firmware problem of resetting to factory settings to get back the GUI old school way. You can have your cake & eat it too! Got my firmware and got my old school GUI! I never fix anything broken but everyone raved about the NH and I think it's one of the top routers out there, so I went against my own motto. Don't fix anything that's not broken, excitement got the best of me! Thank you for your nerdness and your awesome response & caring about our techie challenges. Thank you so much! This group rocks!
