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,

Unfortunately not, it's configured with an active/standby mode where the main link is active and the 4G is standby. Should the main link fail, the 4G changes to active. Issue is that the Netgear M1 is no longer active and it doesn't fail over. We have used other Netgear 4G devices in the past without issue. This is the first Netgear 4G device we have used with such an annoying issue.
