Cannot connect to router
Did an update on NightHawk and now it won’t let me finish or connect to router. Keeps saying cannot find router to connect.
What model router do you you have?
How was the FW updated on the router? Nighthawk app or Routers web page?
Try a power OFF of the router for 1 minute then back on...
I powered it off, push the reeet button. Took all wires out and put back in. Turned the power off and an. I did everything and still nothing.
You can try recoving it with tftp or nmrpflash.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.

and if that doesn't work, you can try using nmrpflash
