Netgear Mr6500 fail to broastcast wifi evenif broastcast ssid enabled already.

Post by ZzzzShinzzzZ »

Has anyone encountered this issue on their Nighthawk hotspot before? It’s an unlocked MR6500, works fine via Ethernet and USB tethering, but will not broadcast WiFi it has 💤 beside the WiFi symbol. Is there a command I can run to try to fix it? I’ve done a hard reset already and no luck.

Try a factory reset using the hardware method.

Set up it again and see if WiFi is broadcasting, if not then probably the WiFi chip is fried.
