Newest firmware for Nighthawk r7900p V1.4.1.66_1.3.26?
I update the firmware for the R7900P Netgear router to version R7900P-V1.4.1.64_1.3.25 which was the latest on Netgear's website. After updating the firmware and restarting, the router said new firmw...
After latest Firmware release the Nighthawk IOS app will not log onto my R7900P Router.
As of 1/7/21 not resolved. I have updated the Nighthawk IOS app to ver 2.7.6.3
I had similar problems with this latest firmware update, including being unable to use my Nighthawk App. The solution that worked for me was 1) to do a factory reset on the router, 2) change the DNS Addresses as follows: Primary 8.8.8.8 (Google), and Secondary 4.2.2.2, and finally 3) uninstall and re-install my Nighthawk App on my iPhone. Note that my router had been set to get my DNS Address automatically from my ISP. Together, these simple steps solved all of my router problems relating to this latest firmware update. Hope this helps you, too.
- Glad you got it working. I’m trying to avoid reconfiguring the router from scratch.
The 68 version was just released and still has same issue.
I also reported the app issue to netgearteam at netgear.com as requested in their app info for any problems. No response yet.
If I get desperate I’ll try your solution. - I tried using the google dns servers in place of my isp provided servers and now the app works. Without sniffing the traffic not sure why but a simple DNS change to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 allowed the app to work.
There must be some internal resolution/names that do not resolve with my ISP/DNS (Cox).- App version 2.7.6.3
Router version V1.4.1.68_1.3.28
