Nighthawk App - No "Check for Updates" Button

My Nighthawk app has never shown a Check for Updates button on the Router Settings page, even after multiple updates of the app itself.  I have been hoping that an update of the firmware would help as the router keeps dropping the internet, but so far I have not been able to do so.  Any ideas?

I am not familiar with the app. Experienced users avoid any updates that involve WiFi. Too many things to go wrong.

Good heavens—I didn't know there was a browser interface.  Thanks, Michael 🙂  Any ideas about the app, though?  I'd love to be able to update from my phone.

By the way, if you insist, you can also use the browser interface on a portable device.

 

But that does not eliminiate the risk of wifi failures and a possible meltdown during the update.
