NIGHTHAWK M1 Telstra Firmware ????
Bought this M1 device to replace the AirCard 810S, also known as Telstra Wi-Fi 4GX Advanced III and DC112A I bought the deivce because our landline sped is only 4mb and NBN is years away. I...
Hello.
I was also interested in the firmware for my device MR1100!
On my device the screen constantly saying "Detecting service" (see attached). Are there any other firmware? Ready to become a beta tester to test the networks of other operators in Russia.
Thank you.
Had a Nighthawk M1 for a month after being advised by Telstra that this would make a good fallback whilst they fixed the firmware issues on their Gateway Pro / Netgear V7610.
Results were intermitant at best, only able to get link status 1 in five times and sometimes not at all despite however many times I patched / unpatched. I tried Cisco 887 router, desktop, forcing speed on NIC.
After 4-5 weeks of frustration, tech calls and a formal complaint, Telstra agreed to take it back and waive all charges.
It is a spectacular concept but ethernet justn't work and 4G performance is no better than aircard or MF910 until the base stations and backbone are upgraded (dependent on where you live)
Personally I suspect Telstra has diddled the firmware with a constraint so that it only works with a desktop (not switch) but that the restriction did not implement well. I have no inside information to support this theory by the way - just conspiracy :)
I see no answer to the question is there, or when is, a firmware update available for this unit ? Can someone please tell me ?
I have a unit that has lost all WIFI broadcast. Brand new, worked for 2 days, then no wifi broadcast. still works through ethernet perfectly....can still access wifi settings in setup, but nothing getting broadcast,,,nada, zero, cannot use wifi....have done the usual, factory reset, removed battery and sim, result is exactly the same no wifi broadcast, but internet access works fine through ethernet.....I say it's faulty ,,,,big time....any one gonna tell me different ?
Take it back quickly - before it gets too hard to return!!!
Thanks for your patience.
A firmware update (NTG9X50C_10.16.04.04) was recently released.
We try to release updates only when there's been a significant amount of changes. It's not much fun installing very regular updates that usually have no changes relevant to you so we prefer fewer more meaningful updates.
If you're still having issues give this update a try and let us know how you find it.
