I am trying to use the Nighthawk app to update the firmware on my RAX45 router.   I am using the Check for updates function and it errors saying a problem has occur checking for updates.    our firmware is currently V1.0.2.82.   Any ideas?

I recommend using a wired PC and web browser to apply FW updates:

I am having the same issue. I have to wonder why the app offers to check for firmware updates if the process doesn’t work.
