I just had this same experience on my MR1100-100NAS model that I have used almost every day since early Sept 2018 on AT&T network. the device will never boot sucessfully, just does the reboot loop as you describe. Went through troubleshooting steps over the phone yesterday, Netgear tells me they will replace device under the 1 year warranty, however they have none of this model in stock right now. Not sure what is going to happen.

Updating with additional information. I have not heard back from anyone at Netgear yet. My router was also the 100NAS model. I also tried with power only, power w/ battery installed, battery-only, etc. I was never able to get the device to perform a "factory reset" because of the state it is in. I have factory reset my failed model and another identical model in past so I am familiar with that process, but once the router gets in this state, have not found a way to get it out the reboot loop of death.
- Orion007May 03, 2019AspirantWonder if this is related to the new firmware that was released yesterday?

Can you be more specific about the firmware release you are referring to? I see notices about new firmwares in this forum but most of them are not for United States or AT&T which is the main carrier supporting most users of the Nighthawk MR1100 in the US.
