Hello,

Can I use the MR1100 as my principal internet access by connecting its ethernet port to the WLAN port of my wi-fi router which manage already all my network ?

Thank you

    my MR1100 used as LTE modem, set with IP Passthrough, which connected to my main WiFi router (Nighthawk R7800 or R9000) WAN port via its Ethernet port. If you are going to make it as 24/7 usage, suggest to remove the battery from MR1100, plug with Type-C power source from adaptor that supports Quick Charge. Also you can consider to have external antenna added for MR1100 if LTE reception signal needs to improve.

      Thank you. Do you mean that the original power supply is not sufficient for a continuous use w/o the battery ? Will a Quick Charge 3.0 be OK ? It seems to be the new standard and 2.0 have disappeared from the usual resellers ...

        original one can be used as long as you have the battery installed but if you are going to have MR1100 used for a long period, such as 24/7, then you'd better to remove the battery (heat dissipation and battery life concern) and have it powered with QC3.0 power source, yes, QC3.0 is just fine.
