NOTE: Nighthawk app or the routers web page may not report seeing new FW updates. NG may not push this to there auto update services immediately and may activate the newer FW update being seen on there auto update services at a later time. User will have the choice to manually update if you want too.

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:

Glad to see that this fixes the DDoS false positive issue. Support sent me a test firmware fix a while back which worked out. Man issue from before was they kept on appearing every 10 seconds and now, they are basically gone.
- Checked for update in Nighthawk app and nothing yet. If any update needed to be pushed out automatically quickly, it’s definitely this one. Common Netgear….
If you don't see it via Auto Update, then manually load it. Reason why there is the FW file.
NG may not be auto pushing this one.
- Ridiculous. Should not have to do that and needs to be rolled out via Nighthawk app.
This update negatively affected my throughput. With 1.0.7.82 I got 580 mbps download and 510 mbps upload. After the update I got 250 mbps download and 1 Mbps upload. Reverted back to 1.0.7.82 and all is fine.
baforer1954I have noticed this as well, but it's not as drastic of a decrease for me. Before the update, my speedtests were consistently around 2.1 gbps for both download and upload, but after the update, it seems to hover around 1980 Mbps for both.
Unfortunately, I am unable to revert back to an older firmware whatsoever. Don't know if that means my router is bricked or not. Will try to see if a factory reset helps with reverting the firmware.
baforer1954 ShadowMario3 Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed to check this?
FURRYe38Just performed a factory reset and noticed that speeds were back up to normal.Once I restored my original settings, a speedtest dipped back down again. Decided to turn off QoS, and that brought speeds back up to normal, so you might want to try that out baforer1954.
Still can't downgrade to an older firmware, so I will need to reach out directly to support about this. I guess it won't be too big of a deal until the next firmware update is released.
Still no MLO 😢 other routers like the Asus GT-BE98U have gotten MLO about a month ago, kind of regret returning that one for this cause it was less moneys! please add to next firmware soon, thanks
