When are we getting NEW firmware for the Nighthawk M1?

The M1 is currently suffering from...

 

Wireless stops responding

Random reboots

Battery sometimes refuses to charge

Ethernet going to sleep

Constant issues with usage meter

Poor upload performance

Lack of advanced settings in menu (Qos)

 

Hurry up Netgear!

    Hi  Wiz_THS,

     

    The current implementation on 10.16.04.04 (MR1) is as follows:

    - MR1100 boots up and ethernet port is live for about 30 seconds

    - If Ethernet port detects something plugged in it will remain active

    - If Ethernet port detects nothing is plugged in it will disable the port to preserve battery life

     

    We are investigating ways of keeping the ethernet port active whilst still trying to preserve battery life.  These fixes could possibly be implemented in MR2 but not commited as yet.

     

    Kind Regards,


    ArodiD

    The ethernet timeout and no IP-passthrough are show-stoppers for me. I can't use this device for my requirements until this is fixed - it's sitting on the shelf......

        Apparently a new firmware came out yesterday. Though there is no information anywhere on what issues it addresses. You could try a manual check under Administration in settings and see if ti will update
