Netgear Nighthawk M1 MR1100 Telstra in Philippines
Purchased Date: July 2019
Model: Nighthawk M1 MR1100
Telco: Telstra
Firmware Version: 10.?.?.? I forgot!
Firmware Updated: 12.06.02
ISP: LTE SIM (Globe Philippines)
The Nighthawk M1 I bought online was a truly great rural pocket wifi compared with the pocket wifi available in the market here in the Philippines. The only thing that is bad about it when the user is not aware of the product and does not know how to operate it. I took me a while to understand the product (about 2 days), to learn the settings I need for me to use here in Philippines.
They said that it is good on travel so I took a test while driving and this was the result; (See attached image)
Using pocket wifi available in the Philippine market can not achieved that speed, most likely less than 1mbps or luckily 3mbps. But, this Nighhawk brings life to my online needs specially when travelling.
I made this discussion so that I can share these with people who are desperate with their internet experience here in Philippines.

Is the APN (Acess Point Name) set correct for your WISP?
- Yes, I had the Globe APN set correctly, I set it up manually.
Would you be able to share the APN settings? Or was it automatically setup upon inserting the Globe sim?
I'm also planning to travel in the PH and purchase an M1 online, I saw that M1 is compatible only with SmartBro so I'm choosing between the two carriers.
Hello,
can I asked where did you buy your Nighthawk M1? Was is over Lazada and than coming from China?
Does it still work and are you still happy with it here in the PH ?
Best regards
Frank
- The purchased was done thru Lazada.. I just forgot whether from China, The M1 I received was from Telstra Telecom which we all know that Telstra is from Australia.
Yes, I am very happy with my Netgear Nighthawk M1 performance until now. There is no pocketwifi here in Philippines can achieve the same speed. I tested all pocket wifi here in Phillippines and it is uncomparable with M1Thanks for the info! Will get me one too.
