Nighthawk LTE hotspot + automatic firmware nightmare
I live in the United States. I have an AT&T issued Nighthawk LTE hotspot running on AT&T network. For the last several weeks I have been reading this forum about automatic firmware updates occurrin...
All known problems now fixed with latest firmware 12.04.02.00, PRI 04.03. EU-version users should get this update early next week, hopefully on Monday. I see this very important update.

I think that awful automatic update feature is now removed too.
If the automatic firmware update has been removed TeeJay74, wouldn't one expect to see downloadable firmware in the Netgear Download section?

I meant that power button press logic that starts device firmware update process(almost automatically). That feature did not work the proper way.
