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?
- PBnJ4evaJul 13, 2020AspirantI told TMO that this line is for a Samsung tablet đ
If my IMEI change didn't work, I was thinking I'd try the TMO international 15 gb plan because it states unlimited 4g mobile hotspot. Here's the link: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/global-plus-15gb
If you do this, please update! Would be interested in learning.- modernuserJul 13, 2020AspirantWould it work with a cell phone IMEI? And I forgot to ask what firmware are you running? I'm feeling SOL.
- PBnJ4evaJul 13, 2020AspirantFirmware is 12.06.11.00.
Try reaching out to TMO and hear what they can do. They may be able to provide you with more information about your line. Maybe it's as simple as activating a new line and using that sim card in your Netgear nighthawk.
