Nighthawk tells me the latest firmware is installed and there are no upgrades. Will this be different if I use a wired PC and browser?

Maybe yes and maybe no.  That is the problem.  Experienced users have more consistent success doing a manual update of their router via a web browser on a computer connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.  In general, download the new firmware (it is in a .zip file) to your computer, unpack the binary (.bin) file from the zip file, log in to the user interface, go the the Advanced -> Administration -> Update Firmware page.

Which NIghthawk are you referring too? The Modem or the Nighthawk mobile app?
