Hello, I can't get access to my Nighthawk anymore. The Web config is not accessable and I get a connection-refused by the browser. This is over the local LAN. I have tried powercycling but that didn...

    Ok. Finally got the Web UI back!

    I decided to flash with tftp using an older version V1.0.0.64. This worked.

    After that I was able to restore the config using a backup of the config.

    I also succesfully updated the version to the latest v1.2.3.28. Thanks for the pointers plemans

Thanks for that. I was indeed operating under option 2. But a couple a weeks ago the first router (Genexis) hung up and I had to factory reset the device, I forgot to add the Nighthawk to the DMZ. Now it seems the Web config does not come back without factory reset even when I completely isolate the Nighthawk. Thanks for the support

After factory resetting the Rax120 I still can't access the Web UI. What to do? Have factory reset the device with 7 sec reset method and 30-30-30. It has its default settings alright. Connecting to Netgear12 on the wifi. 

Both tried Nighthawk App, Router not found.

Also on cable via 192.168.1.1 no connection.

What else can I do?

    Is the RAX connected to your modem/gateway? 

    It might be changing its default ip address if its going through setup connected. 

    Try factory resetting it with it disconnected from the gateway. After the reset, connect pc to it (still disconnected from the gateway) and try to go through setup.
