Nighthawk R7450 internet light blinking orange and after firmware update
Internet was working fine. I updated to the latest firmware and now my internet light is blinking orange and white and I can’t connect to the internet. I’ve already called and check with my internet provider and they had a solid connection to the modem. I’ve also tried unplugging everything. Restarting everything. And even rebooting the router thru the app. How can I get it to stop so I can use the wifi.

a couple things.
1. what modem/gateway is the router connected to?
2. what firmware did you update to?
3. after the update, if you have issues, one of the first steps we recommend is a factory reset and new install (not from a backup). Have you tried this? Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while the router is powered on
