Nighthawk M1 battery charging problem
I have just bought a Netgear Nighthawk M1 through Telstra to enable working in the field. Plugged into the wallmount to charge and the battery seems to drain instead. It will only charge through USB which defeats the purpose of being completely mobile. There is a community discussion on this going back to 2014 but no obvious solution offered. Any suggestions?Netgear NightHawk M1 Battery Replacement

So after a Firmware update (either Telstra or Netegar, not sure who is the culprit!) on the Nighthwak M1, USB tethering connectitvity stopped for Linux-based OSs (excluding MAC OS of course). Tested on Ubuntu / Debian etc. Big thanks to Uebernerd (Post 135 on https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/Netgear-810-update/m-p/1251948 ) In short, Linux does not pick up the correct bConfigurationValue for cdc_ether (it sets it as "1" and not "3"), which stops tethering from working. Instead of using my two Nighthawk M1s as doorstops, I have managed to get them back up and running. The following script can be modified to monitor dmesg (throw in a "while" etc.): #!/bin/bash usb_port=`dmesg | grep MR1100 | egrep -o '[0-9]+\-[0-9]+'` if [ "$usb_port" != "" ]; then echo 3 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/$usb_port/bConfigurationValue fi Obviously this will require running with super-user privileges. It's a cludgy workaround, so if anyone knows how to make this more permanent, please feel free to respond to this post! CheersIP-Passthrough or Bridge Mode
Hi Guys, So there are several posts on the interwebs about additional functionality being exposed through FW updates to these devices. Does anyone know when we might be seeing this functionality. These devices are great but they are less usefull as a business failover device using a Dual-WAN Router as a CPE as IPsec VPN tunnels and the likes do not seem to work very well. I am really really keen to see this functionality as it would form the basis of a great cookie cutter HA deployment for small businesses who require direct internet access for SaaS products but do not want to pay for the price of Business grade connectivity for failover. Please please tell me this should be coming out soon. IT Dude
Netgear Nighthawk M1 drops LTe connection every day and requires multiple reboots
Hi there, Purchased a Nighthawk M1 (MR1100) from Telstra recently. Seems to work well in terms of speed. But a few problems including severe lack of configuration for DHCP (the only item you can configure is DHCP range - there's no fixed host mappings, or any even basic features present in almost every other device on the market. I really hope this is addressed in a future patch or Netgear advise a secret menu to access these basic features as it's really disappointing and lets the router down at the present time). However, it's by far the fastest I've ever tested. Anyway to the main problem. Every day when I come home the device is no longer providing Internet over the connected ethernet cable. I can connect to the modem admin screen fine, and it reports it's connected to the internet (reports LTE connection is fine and has been connected for over a day); however, no devices on the network can use the internet and the only way to solve it is by restarting the MR1100 multiple times eventually it starts routing traffic again. This problem does not occur on any of the other modems I've tested using the same SIM/Service so it's definitely an issue with the MR1100. Something is wrong with the software - need someone from Netgear to sort this out. Also Netgear you need to add the Nighthawk M1 to your model list as I had to assign this ticket against a random unrelated modem as your product list isn't up to date.Connecting Nighthawk M1 to Linksys X3500 wireless router problems
