Hello,
Im part of NETGEAR team , I came across your post where you mentioned facing battery life issues with your Netgear M6 while using it with your Xbox. I've got a suggestion that might help you get better performance and completely eliminate battery life concerns, but I noticed that your use case is a high demand for gaming and maybe streaming, so Instead of using the Netgear M6 with the built-in battery, you can try using it without the battery and selecting the 'AC-Powered' mode under the power manager options. This way, the device will rely on a constant power source, allowing it to deliver optimal performance without any battery limitations.
Here's how to do it:
Remove the battery from your Netgear M6.
Connect the device to a stable power source using the provided AC adapter.
Access the device's web interface by connecting to its Wi-Fi network and opening a browser.
Navigate to the Power Manager section in the settings menu.
Choose the 'AC-Powered' mode and save your settings.
By switching to AC-Powered mode, you'll not only eliminate battery life concerns but also potentially experience a more stable internet connection. Keep in mind that this setup will make your hotspot less portable, but if you're primarily using it at home with your Xbox, this shouldn't be an issue.
I hope this solution works for you, and you can enjoy seamless gaming sessions without worrying about the battery life of your Netgear M6. Let us know how it turns out!
In respect the 160 Mhz, I will try to contact you privately and know better about this topic.
Regards!
