Nighthawk routers should have backdoor diagnostics
So, Nighthawk developers, a suggestion: Have an independent thread in the firmware, simple, clean, with a UDP socket open, that can dump router diagnostics to Genie, Up, other tool. Do NOT Use HTTP, AJAX, etc. Would be highly useful if Admin console unresponsive, a router hang that affected function, but left the router running and semi-functional. Could dump router config, transceiver status, BSSIDs, any critical data.
