New Firmware -- Overtemp warning
Saw a new message and icon on my mr1100 since updating to the most recent AT&T firmware a week or so ago.
While it's good that the mr1100 now tells you why it is not charging -- due to battery/devi...
I have two Nighthawks units that are both plugged in all the time. I use them for home interent due to living in a rural area. One of them is still working like a champ. The other is now displaying the battery heat mode and "turns off" the LAN port. I did a factory reset and it fixed it for about two hours and then I lost internet connection again. Check on the unit and it says battery heat mode and no internet but the unit is still working on WiFi. Anyone else have this problem? And is this strickly a firmware problem? Thanks!
Turning off LAN port: Are you sure you don't have "ethernet standby" set? See screenshot.
Otherwise, sounds like maybe your unit is just aging prematurely.
I am also a rural user of my MR1100 as the household's main connection. AT&T service in my area is quite good. I get steady rates in the range 40-70Mbps, better in the evenings and on weekends, of course. I'm insufferably annoyed that I can't reasonably take the thing mobile, but fortunately we have another hotspot (Unite) that does pretty well, too. One of the big advantages of the MR100 for us is the LAN port to keep it connected to the household wired LAN as well as providing wifi.
The recent busy-ness of this thread is indicative of how badly Netgear needs to address the problem. But I doubt that they're listening at all.
