NOTE: Nighthawk app or the routers web page may not report seeing new FW updates.

NOTE: Use a wired PC and web browser to update router FW. If continued problems are seen after a FW update, it's recommended to try a >factory reset and setup from scratch with out loading any saved configurations from backup files.

After setting up from scratch and the system is working well, be sure to save a new backup configuration to file for safe keeping and save time if another factory reset needs to be done. Saves time here:
