Nighthawk M6 Pro MR6500 (Ethernet) Issues

Noticing drop outs with the ethernet; it looks like simply unplugging the CAT/Ethernet cable will bring the interface back up (2.5Gbit Asus and 1Gbit Asus). I have tried three routers off the netgear hotspot, and am not getting any thermal errors (battery removed).

I did notice other posts don't look resolved

 

I'll update if dropping to 100Mbit, Wireless Bridging or even changing out the PS works.

 

WIFI: OFF
Firmware: NTGX65_10.04.22.0.1
Powersupply: Netgear plugged into surge protector

Environment: ~60F Night ~90F Day.

Notes: I had the 5G 1100(?) too which has similar issues.

    So it's related to the temperature; cooler temperatures the Ethernet connectivity doesn't drop. The WiFi remains functional both 2.4GHZ/6Ghz. I returned the device, but will try a second one if i have the time. With so many devices having the same issue was any environmental testing done?
