Nighthawk M2 - Firmware Update Stuck
Hi, I've currently on firmware: NTGX24_10.17.08.00 with modem SDX24_10.25.00.06. Whenever I try to update the firmware via the physical device's GUI or via the webapp, it just hangs forever. ...
EE selling point is it has the best U.K. network, B20 coverage is not the best speed network. Neither is it’s new 5G 700MHz band if it duals that to 4G also.
There is a reason EE don’t show 4G+ (aggregation) on your phone, they don’t want to you know when you are using their crappy slow band 20 frequency that covers a lot of the U.K.
EE Netgear M2 is 5 Carrier Aggregate possible, their fast 1800/2600MHz do not Carrier Aggregate.
Things are going to get worse if EE rollout also 700MHz on 4G for M2 users.
What Three APN are you using?
By the way if you are plugged in with no M2 battery and change sims you have to reboot M2 or you’ll get that ‘searching‘ error with any SIM card, M2 needs a reboot when changing sims, another crap part of the M2 firmware, that may only be the EE firmware? It’s more FxckwarE than firmwarE at British Telecom.
I’m thinking if you have hard wired the M2 in with antenna & mains etc in your motorhome you may not know to reboot between sim swaps on the EE firmware (?) with the battery removed for sim swap.
Try reboot after the 3sim is in, APN is best used as: 3internet
not: three.co.uk
as 3 sims default too.
Try both them, I’ll help where I can but I can’t help with that nonsense EE firmware, they should defo rebrand back to Britannia Telecom, that company is as broke as the Empire was 59 years ago when the UN decolonised the world ;)

Thanks for your help to post the suggestions.
Yes. All Netgear Mobile Hotspots don't support SIM hotswap. Please power cycle after changeing the SIM card.
If connection can be set up with a SIM card, please check the APN setting.
Please help to capture a model.json file when using EE and 3 SIM cards. You can send the private message to me to check the logs
- Logon to the webui (http://192.168.1.1 ) as an administrator
- Navigate to URL http://192.168.1.1/model.json via the same browser window
- Capture the results (by selecting all + copy) and send it back
Thanks
John
