Logon Timed out for new setup
I am setting up a Nighthawk router model R6700AX and I've gone through the setup steps on the Nighthawk app through firmware updates. Once the firmware is updated I get "Logon timed out, please try again..." Any ideas?
Router updated from v1.0.3.92 to v1.0.11.112
Nighthawk app version v2.16.0.2128 (android)
Why is the local IP address for your ethernet adapter 4 192.168.56.1? I would disable this adapter to be sure Windows is using the primary adapter connected to the router.
Might give this a go to see if you can get FW re-loaded fully and clear the routers condition:

Need to press the reset button for 30 seconds then release, then it send to PUT the command and upload the FW.
Make sure you enable tftp: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/enable-tftp-windows-10
Video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done:

Try nmrpflash if TFTP doesn't work:

Try setting up the router with a ethernet connected PC or laptop and web browser.
- The gateway IP and routerlogin.net both refuse connection
- In addition, when I do a hard factory reset (the 30 seconds on, turn off, 30 more seconds) the power light is flashing red.
