Hi Wiz_THS,

The current implementation on 10.16.04.04 (MR1) is as follows:

- MR1100 boots up and ethernet port is live for about 30 seconds

- If Ethernet port detects something plugged in it will remain active

- If Ethernet port detects nothing is plugged in it will disable the port to preserve battery life

We are investigating ways of keeping the ethernet port active whilst still trying to preserve battery life. These fixes could possibly be implemented in MR2 but not commited as yet.

Kind Regards,

ArodiD

Any updates as to when the firmware update for fixing the 'Ethernet going to sleep' will be released?

  Apparently a new firmware came out yesterday. Though there is no information anywhere on what issues it addresses. You could try a manual check under Administration in settings and see if ti will update

    My Netgear M1 is up to date and the Ethernet is still going to sleep :-(
    
    Does anyone know an ETA to when this issue will be fixed?
