Nighthawk M6 5G router drops connection every night around midnight

Hi All,

Basically the problem as described above, really struggling feel like I've tried everything. So strange that every night on the dot it conks out - says it has connection but there’s nothing happening until I restart the router.

For additional information I have it plugged in via ethernet to an eero mesh system. Currently running the router without battery and outlet connected.

Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance!

  • Can you specify what exact MRXXXX model you have, What firmware version, and what network, and whether you have IP Passthrough enabled of not. Also, what is your average device temp when network is on full load?

      Hi rcpax and thanks for the reply.

      So model is: MR6150

      Firmware: NTGX56_12.01.54.00

      IP passthrough is off.

      Not sure how to find temp info but it runs warm to the touch.

      Many thanks!

        Can you tell us what network you're using? are you using an ATT sim? The temps can be seen in the diagnostics page. It runs warm, but if you run it without the battery, it should be okay.
