Nighthawk M1 (MR1100-100EUS) - reboot loop when connecting to fast 4G+
Hi, I was looking for a solution of the following issue.
When I am at work and in a 4G area, (30Mbps speed) all works fine.
If I turn on the M1 in an area (at home) )with a faster connection,...
So this is the reply I received from the "experts" of netgear support:
"Update from NETGEAR:
Hello Joey,
This is regarding your open case with NETGEAR.
I just received a feedback from our team and the reason why your mobile router is rebooting when connected to the 4G+ network is because it cannot handle this type of connection. The 4G+ is not one of the supported bands for the Mobile router. It supports:
LTE/4G 1/2/3/4/5/7/12/29/30/66
3G 2/4/5
Therefore you can only use 4G with the device and cannot use 4G+ with it.
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Again, thank you for choosing NETGEAR.

So they are saying a Cat 16 modem can't handle a Cat 6 connection. I am sending my device back to the retailer for a refund. It's garbage. And the support seems to be of the same quality.

I am laughing so hard right now. Did the engineers not talk to the designers? Did Netgear Support really get that bad? Or did we all get duped buying a device supposedly capable of 100+Mbps download speeds (LOL me included)?
In all seriousness, I have owned Netgear products for many years. It does seem their overall support (and possibly their product quality) has taken a big dump, literally, in recent years. This is so unfortunate.
I have an open ticket for the past 2+ months - it's up to level 2 support now , and you wouldn't brought the quality of the support I am experiencing. It is not good.
