Nighthawk Web Access claims MR80 Firmware up to date but...

Have an MK83.  MR80 shows a firmware version of 1.1.6.6 while the MR80 Website shows 1.1.6.14 available.  When I have the app check for updates it claims the MR80 is up to date.  I am a bit afraid to manually update it as I really don't want to brick it.  I get this using the Web app on the MR80 or the Android app.

 

I am a bit confused.  

 

Thanks

 

Mike

Use a wired PC and web browser and download the files to the PC, unpack the .zip files. Update ALL MS FIRST, then the MR lastly using there web pages to send the FW files too.

I was going to do that but was unsure if that was the correct approach.  I, of course, would have updated the MR first so thanks for that tip.

 

Thanks again
