Nighthawk M2

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.

 

Regards,

Eran

    You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

      Hi michaelkenward,


      Thank you for your comments.

      Should I re create this and start a new discussion, or has this been moved to the right place?


      Thanks.
