Wifi6 Nighthawk Firmware update keeps failing

Hi all! 

Tried updating the available firmware update last night, and it failed multiple times. 

Looking for a solution that doesn't include resetting my router to factory defaults.  

R,

Jim

    I wouldn't use the app. Its where we see the most issues with corrupt firmware. I'd recommen doing it over a hardwired connection.

    are you updating using the automatic update feature? 

    Or are you trying to manually update it? (I'd recommend doing it manually and doing it over a hardwired connection)
