Nighthawk M2 – Dropping WiFi network when running on main power

Hi,

I have a strange problem, that I hope you can help me solve.

When I am running MR2100 on main power, the WiFi network is dropped within a few minutes if it is idle, and the MR2100 starts blinking red. The WIFI can be re-activated by pressing the main button but I want it to just stay on.

‘WiFi standby’ and ‘Ethernet standby’ are both disabled.

Additional information:

  • It does not make any difference whether the battery is installed or not
  • WiFi is not dropped if any devices are connected
  • This does not happen when MR2100 is running on battery
