Nighthawk MR1100 reboots randomly
First time posting here. I have searched the forums and haven’t seen this particular issue. I have the Netgear Nighthawk MR1100/M1 for use with OTRMobile that uses ATT towers. I live in a rural are...
Edited original message to say: I run it WITHOUT the battery in. Didn’t catch the typo.
it might be a heat issue. QC 2.0 and 3.0 input higher voltage during charging/usage which can generate more heat. And if its rebooting because it got to hot, the QC isn't going to help.
What I'd try?
Install the battery and go back to the stock charger. For a couple reasons. A. it'll act as a heat sink. B. If it is the charger not quite being able to power it during full usage, the battery will supply the extra voltage.
You'd probably be ok with the QC device if the battery was in there and fully charged.
Another thing you can try is a laptop cooler or a different small fan. If its actually caused from over heating, a small fan can help move a little air over it.
- The concern I have with putting the battery in is that because we use it as our always on internet that the battery will overheat and cause similar problems. It was recommended that way so that’s why I went that route. Do you not think the battery being in constantly would also lead to this problem?
I've read of it working either way.
If you do want to run without a battery the charger needs to at least put out 2.4amp at 5 volts. maybe the one you bought isn't outputting 2.4amp at 5v.
Since the new firmware upgrade to 12.06.08 I am experiencing similar behavior. I am running without battery with the Anker plug and prior to the update it ran for weeks if not months on end. Since the update it has been rebooting every couple days. And rebooting is not really the correct term. It is just shutting down and requires the power cable to be disconnected and then reconnected. I am going to put the battery in with the old charger and see if that helps. Very annoying as I use this at a cabin an hour away which makes getting it reconnected a chore.
