Netgear Nighthawk M1 Portforwarding Issues
I recently bought the new Nighthawk M1 4G LTE Mobile Router in an 80GB plan from Telstra, everything works well so far, I'm getting at lowest 50mbps, -land so far at highest ~120mbps, either way I'm happy with speed - however I cannot get the port forwarding function to actually work nor UPnP. I'm trying to use it to host a server from a computer. The computer has always worked fine however I need it to work on the Nighthawk M1. I know there's nothING wrong with the computer setup or the server setup as it works normally on any other Netgear router, but it won't work now. I have tried adding the ports in the portforwarding section, I've tried enabling DMZ, and it just won't work. I'm not sure why not. ANY help or advice is definitely wanted! Thanks in advance :)LB1121 POE???
I submitted a support ticket over a month ago about this and still no answer/fix. The LB1121 will not restart via POE. I have used a Ubiquiti POE injector and a T-Link POE injector with the same results. Sometimes the injectors will power the divice, sometimes they won't and I get no power. I have had a LB1121 running for weeks at a time off the Ubiquiti 48v POE injector with no problem at all. If I unplug the ethernet cable and plug it back in, it will not restart. It works flawlessly off the 12v wall plug every time. But if I try to switch it to POE, nothing. After an unknown amount of time(days) of it sitting unplugged on my desk, it will all the sudden work again via POE. The entire senerio makes no sense. I can not find any patern to the problem....sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. I have already RMA'd my first unit and the replacment has the same problem. I have resorted to purchasing a 2nd LB1121 to keep as a backup for when I lose power or something. I have an extra to rotate in. They both have the same POE restart problem. Pretty annoying to say the least! That is a total of 3 LB1121 units I have had that all have the same issue. There is literally zero documentation about the POE standard used for the LB1121. Is it passive poe, is it 802.3at or af or what? Its a mistery because Netgear doesn't povide any information and their tech support has no answers. What voltage is required for the LB1121 to start via POE? How may amps does the LB1121 use? What specification are required for a POE injector that is compatible with the LB1121? Providing some detailed POE requirements for your product would probably go a long way! It seems crazy that Netgear doesn't even know what POE standard their own device uses. Its also crazy that Netgear would sell a POE device that doesn't work properly with the most common POE injectors available! Super annoying! Will we see a firmware update for the LB1121 anytime soon? a. Fix POE problems stated above. b. Fix "passthrough" mode so its not on a p2p /32 link so we can use real routers. c. More LTE band settings. It would be nice to be able to force bands, etc.
