MR6500 - Randomly powers off when in no battery mode.

MR6500 - Randomly powers off when in no battery mode.

After using the nighthawk MR6500 for home internet for a while, I've noticed a problem. When I switch to max performance mode and remove the battery, the device powers on and functions but will randomly shut down when put under any stress (bandwidth draw). For some reason this does not happen when in battery mode but the device gets hot when the battery is in and I wanna increase network performance. Any solutions?

Try a different charger and cable. If the charger isn't putting out enough power or the cable isn't rated to it, when it tries to pull that power in max mode, its might be limiting it or causing it to power off.
