Nighthawk M1 (MR1100-100EUS) - reboot loop when connecting to fast 4G+
Hi, I was looking for a solution of the following issue.
When I am at work and in a 4G area, (30Mbps speed) all works fine.
If I turn on the M1 in an area (at home) )with a faster connection, 4G+(80Mbps), then my M1 goes into a bootloop.
Anyone seen this before and a solution for it?

I have seen one boot loop SW bug. It is fixed in the latest beta. Only workaround before beta version was factory reset, if it is continuous boot loop.

the factory defaults didn't fix it for me.

Please try again by pressing that reset button on the backside.

I did use the reset button on the back... didn't help. 😞
As soon as it makes the 4G+ connection it reboots again.

Is it possible to test with different sim card ? It may be worth to try. If it still not working you need advices from some Netgear engineer.On the other hand factory style FW re-flash has sometimes solved some odd problems. Major bug fix FW release is coming soon.

Hi TeeJee , changing the sim card was tried as well. even different network, tried with and without an external antenna, all make no difference, it seems it isn't able to handle the 4G+ for some reason. Funny (not really) considering it was marketed and priced as the ultimate 1GB CAT 16 modem.
Can you let me know where are the firmware versions to be downloaded you are speaking about?
either old, new or beta releases?

I have been using this MR1100-100EUS for 9 months now, maasive amount of versatile testing, and I know this the ultimate LTE terminal device so far. Firmware has had some nasty bugs but they will be fixed. Please contact some Netgear technical specialist and ask for advice what to do next. I think sales people can arrange that contact if you describe your problem situation in detail.

Re: Nighthawk M1 (MR1100-100EUS) - reboot loop when connecting to fast 4G+
Since you ignored the question again, I assume these firmware fixes and beta's you keep talking about is more a hopeful anticipation then actually based on facts? I cant find them on the Netgear site and also see no announcements regarding future releases and fixes.
Don't mean to be rude, but I don't think any of the suggestions where very helpful TeeJay, but thanks for trying. I opened a ticket with Netgear, a was waiting for an expert to get back to me.

Beta's are not publicly available. Netgear people certainly find you some solution.

That solution could be a new device, newer firmware version, old firmware re-flash etc.

Re: Nighthawk M1 (MR1100-100EUS) - reboot loop when connecting to fast 4G+
I am using an AT&T version of this device.
I found in areas of low cell signal, device locks onto Band 12 (700Mhz), not reboots.
When used in areas of good signal, device locks onto Band 2 (1900Mhz), and constantly boots until it will NOT power on until battery is removed and reinserted. Bad device? or Firmware? or Both? Either way, this is the second device I had to return because of reboots - bad showing IMO from Netgear.

Can you shed some light on:
1) when (ball park is fine) the firmware will be arriving, and for what carrier(s) ?
2) what sort of things this magical FW will address ?

"Update from NETGEAR:
Hello Joey,
This is regarding your open case with NETGEAR.
I just received a feedback from our team and the reason why your mobile router is rebooting when connected to the 4G+ network is because it cannot handle this type of connection. The 4G+ is not one of the supported bands for the Mobile router. It supports:
LTE/4G 1/2/3/4/5/7/12/29/30/66
3G 2/4/5
Therefore you can only use 4G with the device and cannot use 4G+ with it.
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Again, thank you for choosing NETGEAR.
Regards,
Clarisse
Expert ID: 46194
NETGEAR Support Expert"
So they are saying a Cat 16 modem can't handle a Cat 6 connection. I am sending my device back to the retailer for a refund. It's garbage. And the support seems to be of the same quality.

In all seriousness, I have owned Netgear products for many years. It does seem their overall support (and possibly their product quality) has taken a big dump, literally, in recent years. This is so unfortunate.
I have an open ticket for the past 2+ months - it's up to level 2 support now , and you wouldn't brought the quality of the support I am experiencing. It is not good.

Hi
Was this ever resolved? I am looking at buying this exact model from Amazon for use in the UK and USA and I am concerned I will have issues if it connects to a 4G+ network.
Can anyone please advise?
