Hi bkenobi
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
Please check the signal quality using the Diagnostics screen found under Settings > Nighthawk M1 Status > Diagnostics section using values below as reference:
RSRP – The average power received from a single Reference signal, and Its typical range is around -44dbm (good) to -140dbm(bad).
RSRQ – Indicates quality of the received signal, and its range is typically -19.5dB(bad) to -3dB (good).
If signal quality is bad then I suggest moving the device to a location with clear view of the sky or consider purchasing/using external antenna.

I think an antenna is the best option but I'm not sure if there are better options than others. I know netgear sells an option, but I've read it isn't very high gain.
