NOTE: May have long awaited ...
I upgraded to 1.4.4.97 from 1.4.3.88 - it lasted 2 days, then I went back to 1.4.3.88. For me I found 2 things broken:
1) Under ADDRESS RESERVATION, unable to add/edit a devices because it kept saying "BAD MAC ADDRESS". There was no way to add/edit anything.
2) Under ATTACHED DEVICES, the CONNECTION TYPE information is mostly missing, just shows "-". For some devices it would display 2.4G Wireless, but not all.
I have a R7960P.
Users have already posted that there are problems with v.94 so keep v.68 for now. I saw this as well. I've already passed this onto NG.
Thank you.
I have the Nighthawk R7960P with V1.4.4.94_1.3.56 and has been working pretty good. I have lots of devices attached to it about 40-50. I usually add them to the LAN Setup and assign an IP address to avoid conflicts. Lately it does not let me add new devices with the error message "Invalid MAC address. 2CAA8E6B596A". This message is displayed for existing devices I want to rename or new devices I want to add. Thinking that it might have run out of space. I removed two old entries. With no luck. Using the App at least it lets me rename devices, but the app does not have LAN Setup menu (or I don't know how to get it).

After I upgraded my Nighthawk X6S (R7900P) which is in AP mode to Firmware 1.4.4.94, I'm not able to access the Web UI. The network 172.16.x.x/22 network of which the AP is given a DHCP address of 172.16.x.5. It appears to reset the TCP connection when using any of the standard browsers ie Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. You can ping 172.16.x.5. But you can't access the R7900P via IP address via browser.
I have reset the router to factory settings. It works in router mode. But the second you set to AP mode, you can't login to the Web UI. It appears to work. WiFi works fine in AP mode. You just can't log into the web console to manage it.
Please fix.
