Hi Randy,

Thanks for your interests in MR1100. M1 nighthawk is also refereing to MR1100, which is a marketing name.

In North America, we have two versions of MR1100, one is for AT&T, which is Model number 6420B and one is for retail, which is MR1100-100NAS.

For AT&T version, you can get it from AT&T with their data plan.

For MR1100-100NAS, this is Netgear generic version. You can buy it it from Amazon US, then you need to find the data plan to work with the device. You can find the carrier support on Amazon product posting page.

Thanks

Hi John,
Thank you so much for responding
AT&T, which is Model number 6420B and one is for retail, which is MR1100-100NAS

So will the MR1100-100NAS work with AT&T, or are these two completely separate?
Is it best to find a phone/hot spot plan first?
Thank you,
Randy

  MR1100-100NAS will work with AT&T, T-Mobile and MVNOs based on them. To use MR1100-100NAS, you need to shop around for a better phone/data plan first.
  
  Thanks
