Nighthawk r6700 v3 Firmware Rollback Issues

I stupidly left auto-update on and my firmware updated after I had rolled it back once. Now I'm trying to re-flash the firmware with a previous version and shortly after I hit the update button it says 'connection reset' and discontinues the update. Attempting to rollback to V1.0.3.66_10.0.50 as it's to ONLY WAY to get my maximum bandwidth. I pay for 400mb and I'm getting 8mb. Terribly frustrated.

    Strongly recommend manual update of firmware via an Ethernet connection with a computer and web browser.

    Power down and disconnect the power cord on your router before booting and making another attempt.
