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?

Sorry to hear it didn’t work for you with the ethernet to router in bridge mode. I just have a cheap TP link router from walmart

 

Glad to hear you’re back up and running with a new M6 though. Does it have the same firmware as the old? Going to be trying to call again tomorrow to see if I can finally connect to somebody

Not sure the version of firmware on the new M6. Once we had it up and running, didn't want to tink with it anymore. 

 

We tried using a Linksys router that we no longer when we tested bridge mode. Not sure why it didn't work for us. 

 

We'll see if another firmware version gets pushed out on this M6. Fingers crossed.
