R7800 update from nighthawk app

My router has updated to version 1.0.2.74 from the app, but after the update the app doesnt detect my router for administration, then I tried too enter the administration page and nothing, I make a factory reset and still nothing

I also tried upload my firmware (R7800-V1.0.2.68) and never starts the transfer

  • Apps can't do updates on their own. Your firmware was most likely set to auto-update which you should really disable due to the poor state of NG firmware. Try the TFTP method a few times and report back
