Nighthawk M1- Ethernet Port
Hello All, I have a Nighthawk M1 devce and its working just fine, however I have a question regarding the use of the ethernet port... I have been unable to get this to behave in a manner that I w...
This has been exactly my experience with the M1 connected to a USG. Ethernet port is not detected on reboot. Have to toggle data offloading over ethernet setting to get it to detect, and even when the connection lights up it's not always successful in connecting. Going to try a few other setting changes, but please post if you find a workaround or solution for this.
It is important to charge the M1 from its AC adaptor NOT by connecting its USB to any other device for charging. If you charge it from other devices then you need to disable Tethering on USB for ethernet to work. The USB will provide internet to your connected PC/MAC or TV Receiver and also charge M1 unless you go to settings and make it for Charge ONLY.
I noticed that my M1 will provide Internet via either the USB or Ethernet but not both if Tethering is enabled on USB. If you use the AC power adaptor for charging M1, then Ethernet will always work and internet will be available on connected switches, routers or access points. This way, your M1 network is exteneded. Wifi connnectivty is still working and not affected by the wired connectivity. My M1 is the European version. I hope this is related and helps.
