RAX80 version 1.0.6.138 update cause loss of local access

After updating firmware to 1.0.6.138 I no longer have local access to the router.  Only access is Anywhere using the Nighthawk app.  I cannot login via web browser to upload previous firmware version to roll back. I factory reset and resetup the router and still don't have local access via the web browser.

  • Were you reinstalling using the browser or the app? 

    What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    Are you trying to access it using its ip address or the routerlogin address?

      I was reinstalling using app.
      Connected to Spectrum cable modem.
      I've tried connecting using ip address and routerlogin.com.
      The app shows no local available. After I reboot there is a short time I get a local connection, but it disappears before I can upload a rollback the previous firmware.

        what spectrum modem? 

        After the factory reset (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on) are you able to access it using the web browser? 

        If so, try that method of setup. I'm not a huge fan of the app
