error 1028
I keep getting error 1028 while my laptop is connected by WiFi to the Nighthawk MR6150-100NAS. When I look it up, it says Error 1028. All my other devices are working, but not the laptop. I checked for updates, but it says my device is up to date. Is there a solution for this? I use my laptop for work, and being constantly interrupted is very annoying.

Interresting only one connected device (computer) is affected. Using that one for some video streaming, remote desktop access, ... things causing a lot of traffic?
1028 is PS_NET_DOWN_REASON_EMM_DETACHED
JohnPeng please.
He is very likely ask you to get som model.json data from your router, like ...
- Logon to the webui (http://192.168.1.1 ) as an administrator
- Navigate to URL http://192.168.1.1/model.json via the same browser window
- Capture the results (by selecting all + copy) and send it back
...and submit the content of the model.json data to JohnPeng by PM.

Since the other devices are working normally, I'd first focus on the laptop rather than the MR6150. Try forgetting the Nighthawk Wi-Fi network on the laptop, rebooting both the laptop and hotspot, then reconnecting. If possible, test the laptop on another Wi-Fi network as well; that can help determine whether the problem is specific to the MR6150 connection or the laptop's Wi-Fi configuration.
