MR1100 firmware & wireless slowness
I purchased the MR1100 router around April 7th. It was working perfectly with old firmware which is NTG9X50C_lO.12.02.01
but I figured they have pushed out an updated and router has been horrible every since.
About once or twice a day my internet connection slows down to almost nothing. If I test on the router itself though Ethernet using the speedtest tool it measures 300mb/20mb... but if I test through the wifi it's about 2mb down.. and even that 2mb is slow enough to be unusable.
I'd like to just revert back to the old firmware I was using before this more recent "update" and change the settings to prevent new firmware from auto updating and killing my internet connection.
I'm running under this firmware right now
NTG9X50C_10.25.01.00
Any help? Possible? Thanks!

Hi Mo3lim,
Thank you for posting in the community. Can you confirm which M1 provider model is yours? (AT&T / Telstra / etc.?) Have you done a factory reset on your device after the update? If not, then please proceed with the reset.
Please let me know if that fixes the slowness. :]

- I'm usuing Telstra unlocked version , yeah I have done the factory reset twice but unfortunately nothing changed , I have tried to operate the device with & without battery but no luck
Also playing with Wifi settings didn't work out
Hopefully someone can help me to find an old firmware or solve my slowness issueHi Mo3lim,
Have you tried reupdating to the same firmware?
Please follow these steps and let me know it works for you. :]
