Unable to update firmware EX8000
I received an email today prompting me to update the firmware on my EX8000 router. I have tried doing this via the Nighthawk app, but the "Connect with remote management" button does not work. When I try via the mywifinext.local site, I get a message saying my extender is "up and running" but there is no link or menu item that leads me to a firmware update.
I have also tried following the instructions for a router login from my laptop using Chrome, but they do not correspond to the options onscreen -- I can log in, but there is no menu with the tabs: ADVANCED > Adminstration > or Settings > Administration... so I cannot proceed to the firmware update section. Can someone please guide me?

Re: Unable to update firmware EX8000
I received the same email and downloaded the update. It never connects to my wi-fi so the extender is of no use to me now. It worked perfectly before I downloaded the update. I've tried everything and am so frustrated that I will probably just buy a different extender. So disappointing.

Re: Unable to update firmware EX8000
I couldn't update mine via the web interface either, so I downloaded it from the Netgear website and uploaded it manually. Hopefully they'll fix this in subsequent updates.
