Not the original OP on this thread, but I am (and have been for the past 2 months) experiencing the same issue. In fact, I submitted a warranty claim with AT&T and received a new Nighthawk M6 today as well and it started with these same issues right out of the box.
*My* device is set up in this way: It is plugged into the outlet using the original AC adaptor and USB C cable with no battery, running only on AC power. Wifi is disabled on the device and it is piping out of the Ethernet port to a more powerful Netgear router for whole house usage.
There are at least 6 clients on the Netgear router all using various devices for streaming/downloading/browsing/gamimg/household use.
I need to enable WIFI from the device directly to see the temp. Per the WebUI, the device begins to stop responding (screen freezing, internet failing) at about 47°C. When operating in AC mode, the temperature climbs rapidly from 35°C to 47°C in a matter of minutes. There is no battery temp as the battery is not in the device.
This is on current firmware version NTGX65_10.01.47.00
