Nighthawk M1 ethernet port not working
I finally got around to hooking up my M1 at the farm house where we intend on using it yesterday. One issue I was having was connecting an AC1750 router to the ethernet port. I was able to determin...
I am having the same exact issue. Went as far as purchasing an additional 2x nighthawk m1 and all 3 routers are having issue with the Ethernet port not working. I’ve called Netgear and was on hold for 2 hours with absolutely no help. Any time someone answered they transferred me to someone else.
Hey guys, Two things to check. Log into the hotspots management page (web browser at 192.168.1.1) and in the Mobile Internet check the following settings.
USB - Charge + Tether <- Set this to Charge only as USB will take priority over the Ethernet connection. This will force the tether to Ethernet
Ethernet Standby Timer <- Set this to disable. Ethernet port goes to sleep on no link activity after 2 minutes unless disabled.
Hope this helps!
- Changing the USB from charge + tether to charge only fixed the issue for me
I have a netgear mr1100 plugged into the wall for power and with the ethernet plugged into the router. working just fine. when i remove the battery the ethernet loss concretion to the router. Do I need to take it back?
Make sure you are using the supplied charger block as other USB ports might not supply enough power. What SKU of MR1100 is this? Look under the battery on the label?
- So we finally got internet in our area and the mesh 6 is working so it’s definitely the M1 Nighthawk Hotspot.
