yet another reset to factory settings last night (nov 8)
I've had a RAX43 (FW v1.0.12.120) nighthawk router for a year, using my own configured name/password. It has never reset itself back to factory settings before, but something caused it to reset last...
I had a similar thing happen to my RAX50 router overnight as well. I had auto-update enabled in the web browser interface GUI and I woke up this morning with my main SSID reset to the factory default name/password. The Guest network name was not changed and all other settings were the same. Would this indicate the firmware needs to be re-installed via USB and the router manually factory reset or is it safe to leave it as is?
