MR1100 Ethernet port will not connect
Ethernet port was working when initially setting up, then then turned off, the blinkie light on my switch turned off for the port that was plugged into the MR1100, all the other devices were showing ...
- Jul 29, 2021Thanks. It turned out that the original bad ethernet cable must have alrmed the router to turn off the port. I pulled the battery and the power cable then turned it back on, the port was alive again!

The quickest way to check is to connect your laptop directly to M1's ethernet port and see whether your laptop can get the connection or not.
Please make sure you power M1 with PA when using Ethernet port. If you connect M1 using USB cable to your computer, ethernet port will be turned off.
Thanks
