Nighthawk RAX40 Cannot change SSID

Hi,   I'm trying to install a replacement RAX40 for one that went belly up when trying to update the firmware. Finally got the new one to accept my ISP account for the internet and that is working ...

Hello RWiltshire,

 

May you factory reset the replacement RAX40 by holding down on the reset button with a pin for 15+ seconds.

    Hi Christian,

     

    Thanks but I have done that already. At least the router is working but it has meant I have had to change all the accesses around the house.
