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?
-- POSSIBLE (partial) FIX --
based on a suggestion in a reddit comment from @HairyFarmer465 on a post re: same matter, if you put it in bridge mode, it turns off wifi but ethernet works and doesn't cut out after 4 min!

to put it in bridge mode... go to settings > ... more > IP Passthrough > ON -- device will reboot and then it will show a "BridgeMode" icon/button where it had previously showed the WI-FI icon.
i'm at 45 min now with a solid connection.
this shuts off its ability to be a wifi hotspot and the bridge mode might not work for everyone's needs, but as a temp fix, it's working for me so far.
