AT&T Nighthawk M1 Internet Issue When Connected to Router
So I recently got a nighawk m1 with an unlimited plus plan through at&t. Hotspot works great, but i need more range for more devices. Problem is, when I plug it into my netgear router via Ethernet, connecting to either the hotspot or router results in drastically diminished internet quality. I go from 30-70mb down, 5-10mb up with 50ms ping, to 0-5mb down, 0-1mb up with 400-1000ms ping. I have tested this multiple times to confirm that the internet ONLY goes to squat when I connect the hotspot to the router. Anybody have a techie solution for this dillemmma?

I would post this here for your model router:

The MR1100 is a modem/router. Connect it to another router and you could experience address clashes.
It might be a good idea to put your router in access point mode. Not knowing which router you own, I can't aim you at the manual for it.
If you visit the support pages:
you can feed in the model number and find all the documentation for your hardware.
