Nighthawk M2 IP PassThrough stops working when idle
So I have a Nighthawk M2 in IP PassThrough with a VPN tunnel uplink over time it disconnects from 4G network for some reason and as soon as I login to the Nighthawk it springs to life. firmware NTG2...
I would assume by spring to life, you mean it regains connectivity to the cell tower? Do you use it with a battery? Do you take it mobile or purely stationary connected to a wall charger?
There could be a few things going on here.
-o2 could be disconnecting you after being connected to their network for a while. ATT in the US seems to be doing this.
-if you are using a battery with your M2 and not taking it mobile, i would suggest using it on pure AC power using the charging brick and no battery. your device seems to be going into some sort of sleep mode, which is really not described in the manual. how is your VPN set up?
Well its been a week and no disconnects when out of IP PassThrough so its not o2 and must be a netgear when in IP PassThrough mode.

I have an M6 in IP Passthrough mode. I don't even remember the last time I rebooted it. obviously they are different devices. could be a firmware implementation difference.
