NETGEAR MR6110 MIFI Hotspot ethernet connection

Hi, cbernhardt you can try these steps.

• Make sure the subnet mask on your Windows XP computer is set to 255.255.255.0, as this is a commonly used subnet mask for local networks.
• Set the default gateway on your Windows XP computer to the IP address of the AT&T NETGEAR hotspot, which is 192.168.1.1.
• To set the DNS server addresses in the TCP/IP properties of your Ethernet connection on the XP computer, you may utilize AT&T's DNS servers. For instance, you can assign Primary: 68.94.156.1 and Secondary: 68.94.157.1.
• Verify if there are any proxy settings configured in your Firefox browser. If a proxy is being used, make sure it is configured properly or consider temporarily disabling it to determine if it has any impact.
• Check your firewall settings to make sure it's not blocking the internet connection. You may need to specifically allow traffic from the XP computer.
• Open the command prompt on your Windows XP computer and attempt to ping the AT&T NETGEAR hotspot's IP address (ping 192.168.1.1). This can assist in confirming the connectivity between the computer and the hotspot.
• Make sure the network adapter drivers on your Windows XP computer are updated. Old drivers can lead to connectivity problems.
• Ensure the Ethernet cable is in good condition and consider using a different one if available.

Hope that after trying these steps your problem will be resolved. One more thing I want to say Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, it's worth considering upgrading to a more modern operating system for security and compatibility reasons
