    Well I'll be damned! After trying to fully load the web interface well over 6 hours today, I suddenly find the webinterface loading just fine! I haven't changed anything (there was no way I could). All I did since I last posted, was the

    telnetenable2 192.168.10.1Deleted for security reasons admin mypassword

     

    Nothing else was done by me. It now suddenly just loads. Telnet itself still fails, as it should.

     

    After I logged in just now, I got an "updating interface language settings..." progress bar (instead of the original "Please wait a moment..." message with the rotating loading circle...). 

     

    I'll keep everything as-is, see if the bandwidth problems are now solved too. I now also have a fresh backup of my settings, so a full reset won't hurt as much 🙂 

     

    PS: I hate that the nighthawk app can't backup settings nor upload a new firmware. Seems like a huge miss.

     

    Thanks for now, I'll update any findings I might have.
