Nighthawk M1 / MR1100 Firmware Update (12.05.05) Failure
I tried to update the Firmware from my Nighthawk M1 Router from 12.04.02.00 to 12.05.05.00 and it failed.
I did the following:
Downloaded the Firmware 12.05.05 from Netgear's official suppo...
I'm guessing the update is not for the EUS versions.
When updating the router says the update is not intended for this device.
I went on the dutch website and there is an update "MR1100-100EUS_23113509_NTG9x50C_12.06.03.00_00_Generic_05.01.secc" and this one works.
You may wanna change the country of the support site (bottom of the page) your country or a logical country nearby (Belgium>>> Netherlands).
And indeed, the update from within the router doesnt work.
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
May I please know the exact model of your MR1100? Where did you purchase it?
Kindly try to log into the M1 Web UI using http://m.home/ and update the firmware.

Hi Blanca_O ,
Web UI is not working with http://m.home/
I need to use http://m1login.net and I already tried to update from there. Result: No Update found.
Exact Model is MR1100-100EUS_04.01.67.00
Best,
Christian

FW for this model can be found at http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/MR1100-100EUS/MR1100-100EUS_23113509_NTG9x50C_12.06.03.00_00_Generic_05.01.secc.spk
You can then upgrade your M1 via Web GUI->SETTINGS->Administration->Firmware Update->Upload Firmware
I have several Nighthawk M1's, MR1100-1A1NAS and MR1100-2A1NAS. When I go to administration and then firmware, it does not give me the option to upload firmware. Any idea why or how to make this work? These are the AT&T US versions of the MR1100 and I was able to download the firmware I need for the model from the Netgear site. I just can't upload it. And about 95% of the time I can't get these to update when I do "check for updates" within the hotspot GUI. I set these up for other people all the time because I live in an area where we can't get good internet. I just want to be able to update them all to the latest firmware. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
