Nighthawk M1 rebooting randomly
I got the Nighthawk yesterday. It is randomly rebooting itself even though it is connected to a consistent, correct voltage power source and will reboot whenever it feels like it. I assume this is a...
Update:
First unit was evaluated by my local Telstra store and found to be faulty.
They had intended to observe for themselves and then do a factory reset but were met with reboots and did not proceed further.
Fortunately, Telstra made the choice to replace with a new unit. I would not have expected less as the first unit malfunctioned immediately and I only had it 2 days.
I have not sighted any unexpected reboots in the new unit and all seems to be functioning perfectly. Fingers crossed.
It is a great device when working properly, but I did some searching online and given the number of reports of this unit rebooting/restarting, there must be a persistent fault/issue with the build quality of the units.
My nighthawk Mr1100 keeps rebooting randomly as others have found .
I have noticed (I move address often) it is much worse in a strong signal area.
In a very strong area it could be constant making it unusable, in a weak area 15 munutes to several hours before a re boot.
Please get the technicians onto this.
