My issue has been fixed, by getting the firmware downloaded from the website, then flashed the router with the downloaded file.

This section exists to ask about the Nighthawk App. It isn't the best place to get help with firmware updates.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

The firmware for the R7900P comes up there pretty often.
