Troubleshooting
If you’re having problems with the installation, try the following:
• Turn off your modem and router and disconnect them. Reboot your
modem. Reconnect your router to your modem, and try installing with the
Nighthawk app again.
• If you’re still unable to install your router using the Nighthawk app,
manually install it using the router web interface.
