Factory reset doesn't work
I have a Nighthawk X8 I bought two months ago. Up until today (Mar 7), it has been running fine. Today I came home and found it wasn't working. I tried to access it via routerlogin.net, nothing worke...
I ended up doing an RMA. Got my new unit and it's working fine right now. Hopefully it won't quit in 2 months like the last one...
Seea ny lights on the router is unusual? Tried to ping the router? Push and hold down the reset button for couple mins.
and let go. Can you see router rebooting? Your wall wart may be bad.
How many minutes do I hold it? Should the router be off when I do it? Do I turn it on while holding the reset button? Off and on throughout? What lights do I watch (front vs top vs antennae)?
Try again, turn off the router. Push and hold down the reset button and turn the router on. Wait until power light blinks
and let go. What happens then? If you have spare wall wart try that too.
Tried that. Didn't work. The various LEDs on the top with the statuses will all light up for a bit, and then it just goes back to the amber power indicator and a light for whatever ether port I have something plugged into. Nothing to indicate it's receiving signal from the modem.
Unfortunately I don't have any other outlets I can use.
