Re: MR1100 Overheating?
Thank you @Blanca_O for telling me about this upgrade!
I just came back from a trip where I was able to operate the M1 in a hotel room for 3.5 days of permanent LTE and WiFi usage with an USB Quick Charge power supply connected and the battery inserted. The M1 was able to charge up the battery to 100% while being in use, and kept the battery fully charged the whole time. This has never worked before, it only did now after upgrading to the new firmware NTG9X50C_12.06.07.00.
So I can confirm that NTG9X50C_12.06.07.00 is a big big step forward for the M1. Thank you very much Netgear for addressing this ugly "cannot charge during usage" problem after such a long time! I had already lost all hope, but now I can wholeheartedly recommend the M1 to others as it is a great device which has been working very reliably and stably for me at all times. The fact that the battery would always deplete during operations was its only real drawback IMHO.

Re: MR1100 Overheating?
when using the mr1100 with a external memory it seems to overheat faster.. what i have done is under settings trying and reduce the amount of push power.. iv turned brightness to low.. have the Blinking LED inducator off. if used with power outlet it is best to keep back cover off.. and the last thing is to trun Dual band. other then that power down and just let it charge with no use of the hotspot.. hope that helps
