Nighthawk M1 battery flat and offline in morning
Hello, I have a Telstra Nighthawk M1, works pretty well. Happy with the speeds, the form factor, real ethernet port and on the very infrequent times I use it without power the battery life. ...

We are likely not going to hear anything. This M1 is already considered an old device and Netgear is moving onto selling newer, better things. IMO Netgear only has resources for about six months of a devices' release to actively support it. That doesn't say serious issues aren't addressed after that six months, but it has to be serious. In the meantime, we have apparent well-intentioned Netgear reps here on the forums trying to maintain some loyalty to Netgear products by being nice/giving hope. Unfortunately, this is a fact of life with Netgear now. I have been a long term Netgear customer and has seen 'real' support go down the drain in recent years.

I removed the rear cover and pulled the battery and my M1 runs perfectly fine now and never overheats. it really is a heat issue that causes the battery to drain and not charge. mine has been working fine for months.
I was debating on drolling the rear cover or adding a small fan, but just run it without the cover and haven't had an issue.
