M6 PRO Wifi Signal Dropping Out
We have a M6 Pro Nighthawk modem which has been great & worked very well the past couple of years. The Nighthawk is connected directly to power with no battery fitted & has a couple of wifi cameras running off them at 2.4g. However in the past week (since the latest firmware update 25/10) it now works for a couple of hours & then stops transmitting a wifi signal, like its gone into standby mode... Yes Wifi standby is switch to Never. We are located in Australia & the modem is recieving Telstra 5G signal on the dashboard, however not transmitting wifi to the devices connected. There are 4 devices showing as connected to the Wifi. When you click on the Data Usage section, normally this shows how much data has been used & how many days left on the plan. After a couple of hours once the Wifi transmission signal drops out, if you go back into the Data Usage section it no longer shows any data information - "Data usage info unavailable at this time" is the messaging on the screen. Anyone had any problems with signal dropping out since the firmware update?? Please help... 👍

Best, NETGEAR TeamM7 Pro (MR7400)... Bridge Mode/IP-Passthrough Only Works After Reboot?
As the topic says... If I reboot the router to which the M7 is attached via eth, then I have to reboot the M7 as well before bridge mode works. Has anyone else experienced this, or the contrary; bridge mode works without having to reboot the M7? Also.... what gives with not being able to register the product for support? Netgear product registration either fails and says try again later, or the contact us link through support says support expired on 1900-01-01... Time travel!!!!! Woo hoo! <grumble>... and these compulsory forum tags that don't include relevant products... <sigh>MR7400 (M7 Pro AT&T)
I've got it setup, firmware updated, but I'm unable to change specific settings like WIFI settings, even disabling/enabling wifi is not enabled, either on the device or through http://attwifimanager/. A number of settings are simply greyed out and you're not able to interact with them. After factory resetting, I notice the settings are interactable for a brief time before the device restarts (out of no where) - I was actually able to update the wifi standby setting before the restart happened. Then they return to being disabled, grey options - but the setting that I did change before being disabled persisted as the value that I set. Super weird, could be firmware, or a faulty device because I don't see any other threads discussing the same thing.MR7500 M7 Blocking VPN clients with MacOS Tahoe 26
Hi, I run a MacBookPro M2 through a MR7500 Nighthawk M7 (on the Telstra network). I use OpenVPN client software to connect to a remote business network, and it has been running fine for years. However after recently upgrading to MacOS Tahoe 26 on my laptop, iPad and iPhone, my M7 is blocking my Open VPN connections. If I run my iPad, iPhone or Macbook Pro directly through a seperate 5G hotspot everything runs as expected. If I run my iPad, iPhone and MackBook Pro through my MR7500 Nighthawk M7 via a Wi-Fi or wired connection, OpenVPN will connect but I cannot access the business network. I have found I need to run OpenVPN through ProtonVPN (tunnel in a tunnel) to access the business network, which effectively hides OpenVPN from the M7. I reset the M7 back to factory default, but still have the issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VPN software multiple times. I have the same problem with the Tunnelblick VPN client, so it is not just OpenVPN. Looks like Apple may have removed some legacy IPsec protocols in Tahoe OS which is tripping up the M7. Does anyone have any suggestions?Orange Light
I have a Nighthawk M6 Pro. On the Home Screen, I get an orange triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. I understand this might be an error or maybe a notification that needs attention BUT I cannot find where to find out what this means. The manual is no help. This device is out of warranty so Netgear will not provide any support.
