How do I log into my nighthawk Mr1100 when it’s in pass through mode
HELP! I have a MR1100 hotspot. I connected a Linksys Velop router through the Ethernet port and set the router to pass through. When I did this it shuts the WiFi of on the nighthawk. Now I can't log back into the nighthawk. I've tried to plug my iPad to it through the USB port and can't figure out how to connect it that way. Does anyone know how to log into the nighthawk when it's in pass through?
Also when I have it set up this way it has over 50 megs down load then for no reason it will slow way down or stop responding at all. Has anyone had success connecting the nighthawk to Linksys velop?

Update, I'm able to log into the hotspot now. Still the only problem I have is that it will drop internet connection for no reason and I'm thinking it has to do with the Linksys Velop Node. Still looking for someone that has used this setup successfully that could walk me through the set up. I'm thinking that I just don't have everything configured the way it should be.

Doesn't sound like this has uch to do with Netgear. Tried it on the people at Linksys?

You probably won't find much help with that in this section of the Netgear community.
You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
Mobile Routers, Hotspots & ModemsThose things are a bit more specialist than routers and may need a real expert to chip in.
I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.I bought AC2300 and it works with the MR1100 hotspot great. The hotspot will still reboot randomly. I have noticed that it seems to happen more when the cell tower that it gets its signal from gets congested. AT&T and Netgear both know about the issue. It's been discussed on this forum for years with no fix. AT&T and Netgear just blame each other but do nothing to fix the issue!
