Netgear Nighthawk M6 MR6110 Unlocked Factory Reset Information.
Ordered a refurbished MR6110 that was unlocked. Problem is that it wasn't reset and I can't get into the admin menu. I know I can factory reset it and I should be able to get in with the default pass...
Nothing else you can do at this point but to return the device and ask for a fully reset unlocked device if you want admin access. It is not ideal for T-Mobile anyway because you will not get any 5G bands on T-Mobile with this device, and you are basically using it as an LTE hotspot on B2 and B66 on T-Mobile. Speeds might be okay depending on your tower, but it will not be great vs a comparable SDx62 hotspot like the MR6150. I can only assume price was a consideration for the purchase, but if you want great experience, then definitely go for the MR6150. If you are okay with slower speeds, which might be okay for your use case scenario, then MR6100 unlocked is okay. But for admin access, you need to have a fully factory reset device that has a password identical to the one printed on the label, or if it was changed, the refurbished seller should know it and provide you with it.
