I am unfortunately having the same connectivity issues with my m6 pro constantly dropping Mobile broadband connection or freezing up an shutting itself off!
The current version of firmware it’s running is NTGX65_10.01.47.00. And the PRI Version is 01.12 with a hardware version of 1.0
I upgraded to this from the nighthawk m1 I had hoping this m6 would be a bit better and fast but I’ve had nothing but problems with this damn thing since I got it! It sucks that I cant get any better kind of internet other than a mobile hotspot
Based on the release information, you are using AT&T M6. Could you please do a manual upgrade check? Your device should be able to upgraded to a newer release with the fixes you mentioned above.
If the device can't find the update, please provide the model.json file and send PM to me.

Thanks Netgear and their "incredible" service! You were fooled purchasing the M6.

Not sure how to do that. New to this style forum
1. Connect your device to a computer using USB cable
2. Open Web browser on your computer
3. Visit 192.168.1.1
4. Log in as administrator: Username: admin; Password can be found on the product label under the battery if you didn't change it
5. Navigate to URL http://192.168.1.1/model.json via the same browser window
6. Copy the whole texts and send email to me at jopeng@netgear.com

Re: Nighthawk M6 Pro - Drops Internet After 1-2 hours
Has there been any traction on this issue at all for those who have submitted a JSON? It works for a little bit but inevitably has disconnected every single time I have used this to livestream video. I never know when it will happen, I just know for sure it WILL disconnect every single time I livestream and requires a reboot which feels like it takes forever. I purchased this to become more reliable vs just using my Android phone as a hotspot, but have since switched back to my phone for more reliability.
So frustrating. Nobody has any answers.

Re: Nighthawk M6 Pro - Drops Internet after 1 minute or less
Hi John,
I'm having a similar issue with a MR6110 - intermittent disconnects. I noticed that my firmware seems pretty far out of date - but when I do a manual check to see if it's up to date it says it's current. Is there a way to do this that that I could convince the device to look for and take the latest update?
My firmware is NTGX65_10.01.47.00 BUILD Date 2022/07/08 Hardware v 1.0, PRI 01.13
Any help appreciated.
Jack

Hi John
I sent my log file to you via email, but I have not heard anything. Have you received it? Can you send me the latest firmware?

Re: Nighthawk M6 Pro - Drops Internet after 1 minute or less
I also have the same problem and had an email conversation with John.
After he asked me if I want to try the new firmware, he never came back to me...

It's an unfinished product full of issues and poor support.
Netgear has been deleting criticism, so this forum is also manipulated by Netgear.
Think if you really want to give them your money.
If you can, return the device as defective.

Re: Nighthawk M6 Pro - Drops Internet after 1 minute or less
Seems so... 😑
There's a week left to return it, so I will wait a few more days if this working beta firmware really exists and if they'll send it to me, otherwise it will be sent back.
What a pity, this thing has so much power and it would be really worth the 1k for me - but only if it works stable, not if it looses connection at least once a day 😣

Can you send me a model.josn file to check?

Re: Nighthawk M6 Pro - Drops Internet after 1 minute or less
Tried to return this back to Bestbuy today, only to find out there is only a 14 day return policy on it and yesterday was the 14th day. Everything I read about this router before I purchased it were people warning others not to purchase it due to all of the unresolved issues and Netgear support basically hanging up on people and refusing to help.
I didn't listen and now I am stuck with a non-usable square brick that is only 2 weeks old. I have noticed that the negative feedback on this product has really picked up over the last few weeks as well.
So incredibly disappointing

Re: Nighthawk M6 Pro - Drops Internet after 1 minute or less
I have to say that this has led me to reconsider my purchase of an M6. I was expecting reliability but, alas, it doesn't seem to be here. I will keep monitoring this thread to see if there is resolution to this issue. If things change then I'll reconsider as the M6 promises to be worthwhile once these issues are worked out.
