RAX75 hanging after latest firmware update
The router started crashing as of yesterday, and becomes unresponsive to the webui (@192.168.1.1) or the Nighthawk Android App. I noticed that the firmware updated recently to firmware V1.0.3.88_1.0...
I'd roll back the firmware. I've seen 1 other on here with that issue and that update just rolled out recently. Theirs was fixed by the downgrade.
Its pretty easy to to. Just simply download the 1.0.2.76 firmware, extract it, and then follow the manual firmware update process from the manual. I'd make sure to do it over a hardwired connection.
I'd then disable auto-update until a newer update comes out.
Thank you, this is good advice!
So other items of note. I've found a way to disable the AppArmor feature, which is a little too hard to do. And I do feel like the router is running cooler, and more reliably. This might be a red herring though. Probably best to roll back like you said.
Do you know if the backup files taken with the new firmware would work when applied to the older firmware? I don't really want to go through the trouble of reconfiguring this again.
