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.
Your firmware is corrupt or boot process is corrupt. tftp/nmrpflash is whats used to fix it. You don't have any devices with an ethernet port to fix it.
Options?
1. if its new, start a rma process with it or return/exhange it at the store.
2. buy a usb--->ethernet adapter so you can hardwire into it
3. borrow a laptop from someone with an ethernet port
sounds like your firmware got corrupted when it was updating. You need to unbrick it. There's several videos on youtube showing you "how to unbrick a router" I've done it before using tftp2.exe.
