RAX43 setup help required
A few months ago, I purchased a Nighthawk router. I set it up, and changed the name. The other day I inadvertently deleted the app from my phone, and the router reverted to its original name. I reloaded the app in an effort to change the name back, but since I no longer have the little sticker with the QR code, I was unable to start the router. Now even the Netgear network has disappeared and I am left without Internet.
Any suggestions?

You can log in through the browser.
Try going to routerlogin . com on your browser and log in that way
You don't need an app to set up a router.
Go to http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 with a browser, login and configure whatever you want.
Do note that a few days ago there was a new firmware version update. If your router was set to auto-update its firmware, many people reported that after the update, the router reverts to factory default and you'll have to set up everything from scratch.
Advice? Turn off auto-update. It can even brick your router, not just reset it, which is even worse.- Thanks. This would be great advice if my router had any Internet connection.
- You don't need an internet connection to reach http://192.168.1.1 - that's a private, local IP of the router. Connect a wired PC to the router, let it get an IP from the router, then go to that address
