WiFi extender firmware thru nighthawk
Why does nighthawk tell me to update the firmware when I just installed it AND it upgraded firmware during that process. Plus the support for trying to update FW is sending me in circles. Their web pa...
I followed the three step directions for setup. It said it updated firmware during the process.
Now, the nighthawk app says the firmware is not up to date.
I have tried reinstalling the app.
The extender seems to work, but I can’t get past the update request to check speed connected devices, etc.
I Went to router login.net, logged in as admin, but when it asks if I want to update firmware, there is a black button bar across the bottom, that I assume cuts off the y/n button.

And finally What extender are you using?
- The model name will not stay in the “recommended window”. It also does not appear in the scrolling menu.
It is AX 1800, hardware version is EAX15, firmware is V1.0.1.20.
I am using my IPhone for attempts since it is what was used to install the unit, so I think it is the browser is Safari.If you're on version 1.0.1.20, then you're on the latest version.
I think so as well, but my issue is Nighthawk. It will not let me get past the window that says my "Firmware is Out of Date".
