Nighthawk M1 Issues
Good Evening: I've got a Nighthawk M1 (Telstra Supplied) in use as the primary internet connection for a client as their Fibre Connection has been delayed. Generally speaking the device works well ...
since upgrading to firmware NTG9X50C_10.16.04.04 i have had issues with the internet. when i first turn it on and it is using H (as opposed to 3G or 4G) it works fine (although not as good as it was prior to the firmware) but once it swaps to 4G it is shocking. the only way to get it to go back to H is to reset it.
i also have a 4G advanced II which works fine. to give you an idea my tests from speedtest.net are:
Advanced II (upload\download) and carried out 3 times
13.42/10.20
12.06/10.29
13.47/10.37
NightHawk M1 showing Telstra connection as H with full bars
17.42/2.12
19.88/2.38
16.91/2.40
NightHawk M1 showing Telstra connection as 4G II bars
6/.12
11.89/.29
6.49/.26
apart from the obvious speed differences, i work in IT and do most of my work connecting to clients from home and using RDP. so i need a reasonable upload spee and .29 is **bleep**!
I have been using my 4gAdvanced II for the last few months but just thought I would give the Nighthawk another go but hmmm still not working. What do i do? as you would all be well aware TALKING TO TELSTRA IS LIKE BANGING YOUR HEAD AGAINST A BRICK WALL!!!!!
Netgear please help!!!!
the update has turned many into worthless piles of poop, nobody will take responsibility for it.
time to get Tel$tra to step up and do something about it.
