Netgear Nighthawk M5 MR5200 WAN issue
Hi, I have a Netgear Nighthawk M5 MR5200 (ip address 192.168.1.1) that is working with the IP passthrough and it is connected to the WAN port of an Asus AX11000 (ip address 192.168.2.1). I can acces...
Hi All,
For M5 Ethernet port connection stability issue, I have raised the case to the internal team and hope we can have a solution soon. The root cause of the issue may be related to WWAN side data connection reset by the carrier after certain period of time without data transferring, but the device fails to refresh the IP to the Ethernet client after the connection is resumed.
Thanks for your patience.
I seem to be encountering the issue identified in this thread as well.
I am on AT&T here in in the US with my MR5200 connected to a Netgear R7000P router.
MR5200 becomes inacessible with no connection to the main router every few days (but only in the morning after a night with presumably no data activity). Nevertheless, the device itself reports on its screen that it is successfully connected to the AT&T cellular network.
The MR5200 replaced a Netgear 2120 modem that had no problems maintaining a solid and stable connection to the R7000P at all times.
Really no other problems with the MR5200 other than its occassional failure to maintain a connection the R7000P.
I've both a MR1100 and the MR5200.
I can confirm that wan connection (with IP passtrough) to my router is 100% reliable on the MR1100 and connection is lost after 2-3 days on the MR5200 (external IP isn't updated to the lan port). What a joke.
