Same issues that you guys have mentioned. I have had this M6 Pro for 3 days and I can't take it any longer. It just randomly shuts down, loses broadband connectivity, no internet. It will not save power settings either. Every time the device reboots the screen timeout resets to 1min. Ethernet port is terrible. Sometimes it's enabled, sometimes it's not. It only works half the time and then just stops working. I have 5 bars of service in my area and it keeps rebooting losing connection to the tower.
I thought that I might have purchased a bad unit... but sounds like you have the same issues. I am on the latest firmware. (unit updated the F/w automatically. was worse after the update).
Please check and make sure the device has been upgraded to the latest release.
Could you please advise your device SKU?
Thanks
