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.

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.

Glad it's working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Successful dual update of firmware (V1.0.2.84 to V1.0.2.90) and GUI language (V1.0.0.422 to V1.0.0.425), via the Firmware Update Assistant 🙂
Like aprayiii, no factory reset was needed in my case.
Many thanks for your support!
