Nighthawk M6 PRO Wifi sleep mode from booting
When I boot up my M6 pro (MR6500 - 1TLAUS) wifi icon appears with "zzz" and no wifi network name appears although i have on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and the wifi standby is set to never. Tried to do fact...
it takes time for the Wifi network to get ready after a bootup, so it is normal to see a "ZZZ" symbol on your wifi after a bootup. Give it a few minutes to initialize.
Thank you for your reply.
I have been waiting even for 6 hours without result. The wifi does not wake up.
Even after factory reset stays sleeping. I tried also to set internet options to Wifi + Cellular but still same.
can you do a screenshot of your wifi settings in the web UI?
Attached below all screenshots. I hope this can help
In the first screenshot, set it to connect via Cellular only. The WiFi + Cellular means you are trying to offload data usage to WiFi at certain times, and i don't know if that's what you want. Regular usage I would only set this to cellular connection. see if that helps. When you set it to cellular, you can still use wifi to get connectivity from your mobile router via the router's wifi SSID that you have set.
