Netgear MR1100 vodafone broadband detected and connected but cannot get devices to connect on wifi

MR1100 Nighthawk Serial no 6AA307NP0158A currently with a 15gb Vodafone pay as you go sim. I have broadband connection to VF but cannot get any device, PC (running Windows 10) and iPad, IPhone 9/10 etc to connect. The router recognises a device or devices conected but when you search on the device nothing happens, the tmer just circles.

    Hi Markbird

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    If you are connected to the mobile router but cannot connect to the Internet, try the following suggestions:


    • Check the display status on the LCD.
    • Make sure that network coverage is available in your area.
    • Make sure that your SIM card is active and enabled with data services.
    • Wait one to two minutes for the mobile router to initialize.
    • Confirm that your account is activated and that no other Internet connections are active.
    • Switch your mobile router off and on and restart your computer or WiFi device
