Update firmware 1.0.0.80
started to install new firmware v1.0.0.80 and now I can not connect to my router. Have tried to reboot from the nighthawk phone app but keeps telling me can not connect. do I have to reset my route...
tried to reset router but that is not even working I have a R6120 — AC1200 Dual Band WiFi Router
Did a factory reset and all LEDs are green but still can not connect to the router.
how are you attempting to connect to it?
What address?
What response do you get?
Have you tried with a hardwired in pc/laptop?
is its wifi broadcasting?
Details are key since we aren't there to see what you're doing. With the led's on, its indicating its on and less likely to be bricked. So it could be an issue with how you're attempting to connect/setup.
how are you attempting to connect to it? Router is connect to my cable modem
What address?
What response do you get? using NightHawk it says "internet" online but when i try and connect the message says "we can't find your nighthawk
Have you tried with a hardwired in pc/laptop? yes. I was able to see it was on ver 1.0.0.80 and tried to go back to ver1.0.0.76 and it looked like it was working but then i got to the end and nothing.
is its wifi broadcasting? The SSID is not broadcasting

We need details. what error do you get? What happens? what are the led's doing?
is its wifi broadcasting? The SSID is not broadcasting----how do you know? what are the led's on the router doing? color/blinking/solid. did the ssid get changed?
You can't update over USB>
plemans,
I founded out what was happening and it was a rookie mistake. When I did a "reset" the network name and password were reset to the original and I was not using the correct ones. However, everytime i try and go to v1.0.0.80 it still fails so I am just not going to upgrade at this time since everything is now working correctly.
Thanks for all your help.
is there a way to use the USB port on the router to upload ver 1.0.0.76??
