M1 Nighthawk (MR1100-100NAS) w/T-Mobile Broadband Connection
I purchased the MR1100-100NAS (August 2019) and I use T-Mobile for its mobile broadband internet. Initial setup (OOBE) was quick and easy. My M1 is used soley as a modem and I have an Asus RT-AX88U A...
I think you're right on about TMobile. The service was good while it lasted. Their hotspot plan is garbage. But they are testing (not in my market) home internet for $50/mo. The only thing I don't like about it is you're limited to service at your home address (not mobile).
I'm researching other mobile broadband providers, OTR supports this modem but they use TMobile infrastructure, not sure how that would work. Nomad internet offers TMobile, Verizon, and At&T at different rates, based on the carrier. 4G Antenna is supposed to make a big announcement this coming week.

----Update----
I was able to the MR1100 online again. The IMEI needed changed. In order to do this, used the DC Unlocker app. It was fairly simple to use and worth the price to get the nighthawk back online. I recommend using a random IMEI generator for your new IMEI.
APN/other settings?
I changed the IMEI, but still get the Broadband Disconnected error message
- I've attached my APN settings.
I took a few additional steps when changing the IMEI settings. In order:
1) powered off and unplugged Netgear nighthawk
2) removed sim card
3) plugged in and powered on nighthawk
4) used a IMEI random generator for a Samsung tablet
5) used DC unlocker to change IMEI
6) powered off nighthawk, waited 30 seconds
7) inserted sim card and powered on
I did have to power cycle one more time and I was able to receive data.
You will want to make sure your sim is getting data, test it with a spare device just to rule out the sim is bad.
Best of luck!- Still no luck. Why a Samsung tablet?
