Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

O2 says Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry. I go check my nice 

Nighthawk M2 Mobile Router thats in IP passthrough...its offline! I reboot it it connects fine

 

Please Netgear fix this I should not need to manually reboot it every time a  mast goes down it should auto find the next mast.

  • Once the mast went down (or came back online), the M2 completely failed to automatically recover the connection or hunt for the next available tower. It simply stayed offline indefinitely. I had to perform a manual reboot, after which it connected to the network immediately and worked perfectly. paygonline

  • Well it is the newest firmware netgear will not fix a EOL product if its not in  IP passthrough its fine which what I had to do.
