Hello,

 

I have been using an M1 mobile router with an AT&T sim card for my rural home internet, but recently, when turning on the device, it has frozen with just the "NETGEAR" boot logo and a solid amber light. This happens every time the device is booted up, and it is completely unresponsive. It will not power down, hard reset, or be detected when connected to a PC. The only way to power it down is to remove the battery. I have tried removing the sim card and holding down the reset button, but it is completely unresponsive.

 

IMEI: 015161000747447

SKU: 6420B

 

Any troubleshooting help is greatly appreciated, as I rely on this device for my work. Thank you.

If the device can't boot up without SIM, it may be broken permanently.

Thanks
