Nighthawk M6 Pro Ethernet port
After recent automatic update, Ethernet port on nighthawk M6 Pro not working. Can toggle it on/off, but has no output signal. Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Mine is doing same thing, done practically everything I can think of, and been on hold multiple hours multiple days trying to get ahold of advanced support. Ready to switch to starlink honestly

StevenL1 I hear you. This update feels like it bricked Ethernet on an entire series of devices. Whether it was oversight or neglect, the result is the same: paying customers are left with hardware that no longer works as advertised.
The only way we’ll know if Netgear intends to fix this is by how they respond. If they care, they’ll acknowledge the issue here and release a patch. If they don’t, silence will be our answer — and thankfully there are other options out there.
If anyone reading this is experiencing the same Ethernet drops after firmware v43, please add a short post here so Netgear can see how widespread the problem is.
