Nighthawk M2 crashing when in use as a failover WAN on a network
Hi Guys,
We have an SG-5100 Netgate Security Gateway (with pfSense) configured as a firewall, LAN or WAN router in our office network. The gateway is by default connected to the internet via Fibre 400 Mbps Connection.
I have set up a failover mechanism in pfSense and it is designed to redirect the traffic automatically to the Nighthawk M2 device (via the LAN port) when the main internet connection fails.
Each time when this failover mechanism was tested, the Nighthawk M2 device got frozen and needed to be rebooted.
I was just wondering if you could help us find the right way to use the device so that it will not crash and will be able to provide a 4G connection to the office.
Thanks and regards,
Eran
