Netgear Nighthawk M1 Problems

[Ktorres]

Hello. I'm Kamran Torres and I have problems with my Nighthawk. 

Model: Netgear Nighthawk M1 by ATT
Firmware: NTG9X50C_12.05.05.14

When I get 3 bars I get an average of 70+ ping, 20-30 MBPS down and 10-20 MBPS up. Every 3 minutes, I get broadband disconnected for about 10 seconds. Is there a reason to this? Please let me know what the problem is ASAP. I've had it for 8 months.

Thanks, Kamran Torres.

I have the MR1100ATT as well. It overheats particularly if left plugged in and used heavily. My battery went bad and I had to replace it from this. It swelled up big. Probably lucky it didn't explode. So try running sans battery or replace the battery. Also turn it up on its side instead of laying flat to help dissipate the heat. Just works better that way.
