If you are going backwards in release number you might still have them (that is from one of the older recalled beta's). However there is NO guarantee they will work. In cases like that you have to RESET the router and then re-apply manually your setting for proper operation.
If you are moving up from and older official release, like V1.0.4 or older you don't need to reset the router but it is advised. In this case I'd give it a try, have any problems, reset and re-enter is the first thing to try. DO NOT load saved settings from any other version into a new one. That seems to be asking for trouble these days.
You mean download the firmware onto a usb drive? Then download it into the usb jack on the nighthawk? And whats the difference? If it does not work right by doing it online? Then why is there an option to do it that way? And i never did a reset before i did it...no one told me too? Or i wasn't told to when i did it...I did 2 resets after i did it because its not working right
I downloaded the firmware and uploaded it from there.
Thing is, you have to change your IP after you reset the router.
So :
_ download the firmware
_ change your IP on your computer (192.168.1.X if my memory is correct)
_ reset the router
_ upload the firmware
_ reset the router
_ change its config
_ change your IP config, if needed
Worked for me.
*NORMALLY* you should be able to do the update online, but this time, with this last firmware, it seems it screws the router bad...
I know I won't try any online update from now on. And I will stick to the actual firmware for a time before upgrading it, I'll wait for the feedbacks of all the users before I jump off the cliff again.
