I'M SO SICK OF NETGEAR AND THE MR1100!!!!!!!!!
Since March, THREE MONTHS, I have been trying to get the ethernet port to work on multiple MR1100ATT mobile hotspots. The ethernet port on the first MR1100 I got from ATT would not work. No matter wh...
Sounds frustrating. Is this the same conversation that you have been having with Blanca_O?
MR1100ATT ethernet port not working - NETGEAR Communities
Yes, I've had several posts over the past three months about the continued issue. No solutions or fixes offered. Very frustrating. This router is our only source of internet where we live.
I doubt if you will get much more than that without going into a lot more detail.
As it stands, all you have said is that the Ethernet port is not working.
That you have tried three different devices suggests to me that something is going wrong when you set it up.
But we have no idea what you are doing and what goes wrong.
Take this:
I'm wanting to connect a laptop to it via the ethernet port but it won't work. When I go to the wifimanager to check the settings, in the Dashboard it simply says "Ethernet: Not Connected"What wifi manager?
I don't know what you are doing, so I have no idea if you have read the manual, and seen this bit:
Note: You cannot use an Ethernet connection and use a tethered
connection to access the mobile router at the same time.You can keep turning up here with "it doesn't work" messages, and detailed accounts of you frustrating fights with Netgear and AT&T, but to make real progress you might like to focus on the technical stuff and forget about anything else.
Not sure what other details there are to give. As for set up, I installed the SIM Card, turned on the router and set up the password. That is all that is involved with the setup process.
The wifimanager is what you get when you enter the router address, http://192.168.1.1 It's how you access the router settings.
I have read the manual several times. I'm not trying to use a teathered connection nor did I mention teathered so that point in the manual does not apply. But, that doesn't work either like the manual says. But that's the not the issue I'm trying to resolve.
The manual only briefly mentions the ethernet port. No where in the manual does it mention how to set up the port only that the port can be used for internect connection. No where in the Router Settings can I find anything about setting up the ethernet port. People that I have spoken with that have this same device have said they simply plugged in the ethernet cable and it worked. I don't know the technical details of the device. That is why I've tried to reach out to someone with Netgear or AT&T that has technical knowledge of how this device is supposed to work. For three months now, I've yet to find anyone that does.
So, not sure what other details to offer. If you have any quesitons or are able to offer any troubleshooting advice, it would be appreciated.
