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...
Yup tried without the battery in IP PassThrough still disconnects from 4G after a number of days so Netgear has broken uptime for IP PassThrough.đ
so just to recap, the IP passthrough was working fine before the latest FW update happened? If that's the case, please submit a bug report for netgear may be able to address it in a future update
From what I can tell it was working fine with EE then moved EE to another Mobile Routers and o2 to the Nighthawk which get update in that time.
Problem is my technical support expired on 2024-09-02 and it not letting me do a submit a bug report for netgear
At this point all you can really do is wait for another update in the hope the your issues are fixed. There seems to be a lack of archived old firmwares from Netgear, and probably for security reasons, as newer firmwares usually fixes vulnerabilities on the older firmwares..
Have you tried putting the EE sim back in and see if the same issue persists?I could put the EE back in but I really don't want to plus don't see how o2 see if I'm in IP passthrough or not there is one thing I'm trying now but really should not be the problem as it works for 3days then stops which is the DHCP Bootp flags being Broadcast and not Unicast should it be passing that on due to how IP passthrough works.
