New Firmware -- Overtemp warning
Saw a new message and icon on my mr1100 since updating to the most recent AT&T firmware a week or so ago.
While it's good that the mr1100 now tells you why it is not charging -- due to battery/devi...
Will the Nighthawk overheat if you run it plugged in without the battery?
I've only ever seen over temp warning associated with the battery charging status. Though I've never run mine in direct sunlight for hours to see what would happen.
As I and others have commented. For stationary applications, remove the battery entirely, leave the back cover off to aid with cooling (and/or add a small fan) and power the unit with a quality QC2/QC3 power adapter and USB-C cable (I like Anker equipment).
The wall wart that comes with the MR1100 is garbage and not QC2/QC3 capable.
If you want "battry backup" for your stationary application power the MR1100 from a separate UPS. You'll need one anyway for your wireless access point(s) and other networking / security / camera gear. Or a large 20K to 26.5K mAh portable QC2/3 capable battery pack
Thank you
