Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 MD5 Verify Error
Getting an MD5 Verify error when trying to install new firmware. I saw some old posts about this but nothing recent. Any advice appreciated.
Wooohooo! Mine worked correctly. And BTW I did NOT have to do any sort of reset, just went to the update and it worked fine from a Chrome session connected wirelessly.
Also try using Firefox or MS Edge browser to send FW files.
These other browsers did not work via wifi.
Its recommended that you not update router FW via wifi and use a wired PC and web browser to update FW on routers:

Yes, understood, have been doing it at my own risk. Just was pointing out that is has been working :)
