Nighthawk M1 Drops Internet Overnight....why?!
I'm on week 2 of trying to get this device to work as advertised or expected. I finally have it working as a pure modem.....kinda. I have a TP Link Router that is my main home router. The M1 ha...
Please see this thread: Nighthawk-M1-Ethernet-Port-Timeout and locate the post from ArodiD 2017-12-11 03:01 AM. He explains that there will be a firmware update in Feb, which will allow the Ethernet port to be permanently ON, preventing it from going to sleep. Hopefully this will solve your problem.
The firmware releases to the various mobile network providers, including Telstra in Australia, AT&T in the States, EE in the UK, are probably all slightly different from each other but I hope that all versions will implement this new feature to keep the Ethernet port active.
- That's good news! How do we get a patch or beta version in the meantime?
My guess is that a patch prior to the Feb firmware update will be unlikely because there are too many different parties/providers involved. But time flies these days... :smileyhappy:
Well, my issue is only an issue when the router is set up to use WAN and IP Passthrough. Otherwise, the ethernet connection is solid.
Is there any harm in using my router without a battery? It is not used as a mobile router, so the battery would stay at 100% its whole life. The telestra manual says you can remove the battery and use it with a quickcharge 3.0 usb plug. I have an AT&T model, and my manual does not say that. Can I still do it safely? It seems to work pretty dang well without the battery and just using the USB cord. Is that safe to do on my model?
