Nighthawk M2 IP PassThrough stops working when idle
So I have a Nighthawk M2 in IP PassThrough with a VPN tunnel uplink over time it disconnects from 4G network for some reason and as soon as I login to the Nighthawk it springs to life. firmware NTG24_10.19.03.00 So anyone else having this problem? the ISP is o2
Wifi seems to segragate 2.4 and 5Ghz devices on M2 (MR2100)
The wifi on the Nighthawk M2 (MR2100) seems to separate the traffic on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi bands. A computer connected to the 5Ghz band can't print to a printer on the 2.4Ghz band. I have to change the computer to connect to the 2.4Ghz band. If I connect to the router froom the computer on the 5Ghz band, I can see the printer's IP address connected on the 2.4Ghz WiFi on the router dashboard, but can't print or even ping it. If I reconnect the computer to the 2.4Ghz Wifi print and ping are fine. I can't seem to find any setting in this router to separate the networks. #Nighthawk M2 MR2100netgear nighthawk m1 MR1100
Hello a few days ago the message appeared: Keine Verbindung mit diesem Netzwerk möglich (no connection possible to this network) when I tried to connect any device to the MR1100. Any device means: a samsung mobile S23 with Android, a Microsoft surface with windwos 11, an apple IPAD pro with IOS 18. What can I do to find out how to reanimate the MR1100 without access from a computer via WiFi to it. Thanks for Help GorowNighthawk M6 Pro MR6400 won't run without battery when tethered to computer
Hello, I recently purchased the Nighthawk M6 Pro MR6400 hotspot. Unlike the MR5200 and MR6500, it does not seem to want to power on without the battery connected when tethered to a PC. I checked all of the settings in all three hotspots and they are identical. The USB port is set to charging and tethering. The same exact PC and USB-C port on my PC works for the MR5200 and the MR6500, but will not work for the MR6400. Is there a way to bypass this? I have checked the power settings of the device and they appear to be identical. I am purposefully not installing the battery except for when I will be traveling with the device. Thanks!MR6150 - Cannot connect to 5G only bands
I recently upgraded the firmware on my Netgear M6 MR6150 and for some reason I have lost the ability to connect to only "5G" bands under CELLULAR > BAND REGION. I used to have this option before. Under Cellular now I only have 2 options, "4G" and "ALL (4G + 5G)". I already had the MR1100 and I bought the MR6150 specifically because of the 5G capabilities. Without having the ability to connect to 5G, this is a loss for me. I am now getting similar speeds to the MR1100 on my MR6150; and this makes no sense at all. The router keeps connecting to the 4G bands and I have no way to select only 5G bands. I used to have this ability before and now with the latest firmware, the option disappeared. I paid over $600+ for this device. I am on the latest firmware NTGX65_12.01.47.00. Can someone please help me or guide me on how do I get the "5G" only band selection under CELLULAR Attaching image as wellMR1100 blinking amber with no internet
I just exceeded my 3 month support window, which is shocking that they won’t help beyond that point. In any case, I use this device for camping and in my car on occasion. A few days ago I noticed it blinking amber with no WiFi available. No big deal, I pushed the button a few times and it went back to blinking blue with WiFi available. This now happens several times a day. I did a reset and pulled the battery and SIM with no change in performance. I am using the original charger. I do not leave it plugged in 24/7, which I understand is better for the battery. Any thoughts? Thanks.Nighthawk M6 invalid SIm
Hi, I got a Netgear Nighthawk M6 from Optus and I changed the wifi offloading setting then I changed back to the original setting. I also enabled the Ethernet port as well. Problem is now it comes up with an invalid SIM error. How should I fix it? Is a factory reset safe? Plus why would making some settings changes like this invalidate the sim? Thanks WardNBR 750 IPv6 please!!!!
I've been recommending the older LBR20 and the new NBR750 for clients who need a router for an LTE/5G connection in lieu of cable in the area. I've even been using an NBR 750 at home for a tester for about a year. I love the router but HATE how Netgear has hobbled ipv6 support for the wireless (LTE/5G) connection. It's baffling to me that the router supports WAN IPv6 connections if connected to an ethernet WAN link (cable/DSL/etc), but does not support it over the wireless connection, despite the router being capable of receiving an IPv6 address over the wireless connection. Why not allow the router to provide IPv6 addresses even if they are strictly link-local? Or better yet, why not allow the router to provide IPv6 addresses from the prefix delegated to it over the 5G/LTE connection? If you go into the Advanced/Advanced/Ethernet IPv6 in the configuration section for an NBR750 you get an error if you make any changes "FAILURE: No Ethernet Cable is plugged into the Router Internet Port." Can you please fix the firmware to enable IPv6 for users who are using this strictly as a LTE/5G router? Why hobble this? I've had to stop recommending these for clients and frankly have stopped all Netgear recommendations as the seeming arbitrariness of this (especially considering the importance of IPv6 support for things like gaming when having to deal with CGNAT) leads me to question just what Netgear is trying to do. Please fix this!
