I'm having a similar issue.
IP Passthrough on.

Ethernet standby off.
Connected to a TP-Link ER605 via WAN.
Goes offline every few hours and reports IP address as 0.0.0.0.
In response to a previous post, I don't think purchasing a smart plug, to power cycle the device, or a subscription to Netgears cloud management are reasonable - this function should work.
Can you give us a timeline for a fix? Or should I return these for a refund (not working as expected / faulty)?

I used my m1 in pass through with no issues but lightning fixed it not in a good way like I said I have been able to establish decent connections by turning off pass through and using an extender because it has got to have the worst range of any wireless device I have ever seen. If you are not in the same room with it it drops out

Amazing that there is no progress on this. Tech support has conversation with me foe months’ made some tests with them … but still not working at all…my m5 can’t be used nor returned. Perhaps I should get a M2, but not sure it is better
