MR1100. Disappointed
Disappointed in this mobile router. I have tried to connect the M1 to 5 different WiFi routers at work and it won't data offload by WiFi to any. It will connect by ethernet. Sometimes I get a warn...
Thanks for your speedy, its much appreiated.
1) How do I find an ip address of a password protected WiFi network?
2) If Ethernet connection is not available how do I find the ip address?
3) Assuming I can find its ip address what range do I have to set the M1?
4) Do you know a company that sells the antenna adapters?

1) How do I find an ip address of a password protected WiFi network?
>>you can obtain IP address(es) by command "ipconfig" if you are on Windows
2) If Ethernet connection is not available how do I find the ip address?
>>If you like to offload over WiFi, Ethernet should be ON all the time, or this won't work
3) Assuming I can find its ip address what range do I have to set the M1?
>>Just configure your M1 on different IP subnet, for example, if your WiFi IP address is on 192.168.1.x, then you need to configure M1 over 192.168.2.x as they can't be on same subnet
4) Do you know a company that sells the antenna adapters?
>>You can just search LTE antenna on Amazon, or eBay. But need to pay attention on its connector, for TS-9
I've changed to M1 ip to 192.168.2.1. Starting 192.168.2.20 End 192.168.2.99
On the MacBook WiFi properties give the IP address I’m trying to connect to gives 192.168.0.11 (web page log in 192.168.1.1)The IP address given on the MacBook properties for M1 is 192.168.2.28. Passthrough is off.It still won’t connect. I can connect with the original M1 setting 192.168.1.1 and connect with ethernet cable.Don't understand:2) If Ethernet connection is not available how do I find the ip address?
>>If you like to offload over WiFi, Ethernet should be ON all the time, or this won't work
In data offloading WiFi and ethernet cant both be selected at the same time.
Or does it mean that if I'm in a cafe that I have to connect to an ethernet outlet?
when you are doing offload over Ethernet, only WiFi connected client can get access to that Ethernet network, vice versa.
So you need to have M1 configured on different network, different from WiFi or Ethernet connected network when offloading, for clients to access Internet via that offloaded network.
