Netgear Nighthawk M1 offline in morning
I recently purchased the Netgear Nighthawk M1 router from Telstra on a plan. The speed is great, but in the morning I have to push the power button to get connectivity. It goes into a sleep/power save mode. Is there any way to keep it on constantly?? We have it set up on a mobile interactive touchscreen, and it drops connectivity every morning.
Hi,
By default, if there is no activity on the Wifi interfaces for a certain period of time, they will be powered down to save battery power.
Pressing the power butting will power them back up.
The default setting can be changed by going to the web interface (http://m.home) and changing the Wifi standby time.
You can find the setting at:
Settings -> Setup -> Wireless
Then change 'Wifi Standby' setting to Disabled.
