I have been having connectivity issues with my R8000 as of late (~2 weeks) and finally came looking today for solutions. To my great surprise (and skepticism) there is a new V1.0.5.88 firmware available as of today?!? My incredulity stems partly from the large version bump (1.0.4.88->1.0.5.88) when the release notes state that the release only "addresses security vulnerabilities". I can find no mention of which security vulnerabilities this addresses on the advisory page . Additionally, aren't security patches typically relegated to W in the X.Y.Z.W version ID? All this compounds when considering this device is EOL for some time now... At any rate, curious to hear any more about this mysterious release and to hear if anyone else has tried it out. Best, SR8000P vulnerabilities http_basic_auth, weak_password
AT&T give me the message below; is AT&T correct? If so, can the R8000P be fixed? Device R8000P Description There were 2 vulnerabilities found on your R8000P. The vulnerabilities are http_basic_auth, weak_password. These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to damage your device.1.8KViews0likes7CommentsRouter does not support https protocol R9000 Nighthawk

Hello I have Nighthawk R7000 running firmware V1.0.11.136_10.2.120 and I was wanting to run a vpn. I followed the instructions about how to turn on the vpn service and installing openvpn. When I try to run openvpn I get this error in the log: 2023-11-10 14:19:55 us=703000 MANAGEMENT: Client disconnected 2023-11-10 14:19:55 us=703000 Cannot load certificate file client.crt 2023-11-10 14:19:55 us=703000 Exiting due to fatal error Now searching here I found that this was a previous issue that was fixed in version 1.0.9.30 but that was back in 2018. Is there any solution now for the latest firmware? thanks8.3KViews0likes19CommentsNighthawk X4S R7800 keeps factory reseting
When I restart my router or it restarts itself it factory resets itself, it started about 4 days ago. 2 days ago I download the last update for it and reupdated it when it reset itself, it seemed to have worked but about 10 minutes ago my internet went out and when it came back I saw it reset itself again. So I downloaded the firewere from a few updates ago and added it to my router to see if it will stop resetting itself. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know because I'm getting tired of having to reapply all my setting, I tried to upload my saved settings file to it but it won't turn anything back on846Views0likes1CommentSetting up login credentials for OPEN VPN
Hello, I have a Nighthawk R7000 rooter with a default OS (which I can't change). I have for several years activated the vpn service with open vpn which works very well. However, I'd like to increase security to connect to my rooter (and therefore to the connected nas server): set up a login and password connection. Is there a (simple) solution for this type of connection via open vpn? Is it possible to give rights to certain identifiers or remove them? I'd like to stop distributing the identification key, but to grant connection rights. Thank you in advance for your reply.

my N600 DGND3700 was replaced 6 months ago by a newer Nighthawk AC1900; the 2 units have different SSID's & passwords yet i can still connect to the AC1900 from iPhone & iPad using the old N600 password & SSID - only discovered this when a guest arrived who had the old login on an iPhone, so tried it on my iPad & it connects perfectly ???????

I just installed the Nighthawk RAXE500 router. I still have my old router, a Nighthawk X10 AD7200, Model R9000. I want to "reset" the X10, but I will have to plug it in to do so. I did not reset it before installing the new one. I want to know if it is safe to just plug in the old router to reset it, or do I have to either unplug the current router and modem, make sure the phone and laptop are off, etc. before I plug it in to do the factory reset, or do I have to take it somewhere "out of range" to have it reset? It has a reset button on the back. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you very much.1.6KViews0likes2CommentsBlocking web sites
