Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
Please provide the MR5200, MR6500 and MR6400 SKU (e.g. MR6500-1A1NAS).
Where did you purchase the device?
Kindly provide the current firmware version and PRI.
Can you please let us know which option is selected for the Power Manager Settings?

Greetings,
I have the same issue. If I remove the battery then the router will not boot.
My M6-Pro is from AT&T and running firmware NTGX65_10.04.22.01
Modem Version is - MPSS.DE.1.0-02593-OLYMPIC_GENALL_PACK-1
There is a setting under General>Power Mode for AC-Powered Only (No Battery) but it cannot be selected.
What do I do if I plan on my hotspot being a permanent installation? It seems the battery will burn up over time and need replacement due to the constant power.
Please advise!!!
