Firmware Check Error R7000P

When I check for firmware updates using the Nighthawk app for my R7000P, the response is Firmware Check Error . . . no matter how many times I try.

 

I am also getting the error "logon timed out, please try again.  If this issue persists, try rebooting your device". My password is correct, WIFI is connected.  When I do in fact reboot, I am able to log in.  But if I leave the nighthawk app even momentarily and reenter, I get the time out error again.  Very frustrating.

Recommend you avoid the Nighthawk application and do a manual update.  The most recent firmware for the R7000P is V1.3.3.154_10.1.86.

 

Here is a link to the instructions:
