It probably wouldn't solve your problems, but as long as you can get a wired local connection into the router you don't have to be on line to update firmware.

According to iinet, the settings should be WAN type PPPoE, username and password (same as used to access iinet toolbox) VLAD ID turned ON and set to 2.
I can't see how I can set the VLAD ID as the nighthawk app only asks for username and password under advanced settings.
