Hi baileyj0611,
May you follow the article below to update the firmware manually. You may also try updating the firmware using the Nighthawk app.

baileyj0611 - Send me a private message with your contact info and serial number. I'll see if support can reach out for further investigation.

I finally got it working....
I do NOT understand WHY you MUST use routerlogin.net instead of the IP addres of the router to do a firmware, that seems asinine to me.
Anyway, i'm running on .88 and things seem to be much better - I'm able to use te USB side of things finally.
thanks.
