Latest from app does not give me a number. I am not a mind reader.
Also have you tried reset and reconfigure? That would probably be the next step as you probably have auto update on and the router was updated without your knowledge.
First question is what version of firmware are you running, number not something like latest.
What steps have you taken to try to fix?
Things like reset the router and reconfigure. Know that is a pain, but does fix issues, especially if new firmware install. Things like auto update on can cause issues as you are not aware that a firmware update has happened.

Bill,
I checked my latest firmware from the nighthawk app yesterday and it said it was up to date already. I restarted my modem and router and couple times yesterday when trying to troubleshoot the issue.

You might want to read this thread. Folks having issues similar to yours and some suggestions as to possible firmware to try. I am assuming you are on the .64 firmware since that is "latest".
I was running firmware V1.0.9.64_10.2.64.
I ended up factory resetting the router and when I finished setting it up again I ran a speed test. 295mbps download with the hardwire connection. It's unfortunate I couldn't figure this out sooner. By the way, I'm still running on firmware V1.0.9.64_10.2.64 and those are the speeds I am getting. Everything is working now. Thanks for the help.

Bill,
I am sorry. I am not at home to check the firmware number. I will verify when I get home and report back. After I verify the firmware, I will reset and reconfigure. Make sure auto update is not on. If that doesn't do it, I will rollback the firmware to .42. I'll report back with any updates.
Thank you,
Dayton
