Hmmm,
That's strange. Mine used to work just fine without the battery -- but I haven't tested it that way recently. I believe I recall seeing some posts that the battery is required to process a firmware update.

3) setup a bot to periodically ping some of the Wifi devices hosted by the MR1100 so that it's connection doesn't go to sleep
