Nighthawk M6 Pro (6500) Off Net Firmware Update
I am working outside of the US for a year. My M6 Pro is currently running NTGX65_10.01.47.00. (So, it turns off on it's own.) I've tried updating from the LCD, web page, and iOS APP - none work. From reading through the forum, I've found a few references that state an M6 can only update its firmware when connected to AT&T network. Is this true? If so, is there a work around? Can I manually update the firmware from my laptop?

I followed the steps in the link, but it didn't work. The MR6500 stated "Connected via Ethernet". Its MAC address was registered by the upstream device. When I tried to check for a firmware update, the MR6500 returned the message "Network not currently available, try again later."
