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.

Can you all re-check this? I got word from NG that this was fixed on there side.

Still no luck, I'm afraid. Currently running firmware version V1.0.2.84 and GUI language version V1.0.0.422, and the Firmware Update Assistant is still giving me the MD5 verification error. Unfortunately the FUA shows here both updates on the same page and doesn't provide any means to select one of them individually, so there's no way I can tell which of the two actually causes this.

Everyone,
Please factory reset your R7800 router and walk thru the setup wizard. The GUI should update correctly now:
Mine updated with out error today.
