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 reload...
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.
