Nighthawk LTE on AT&T
New here, well very new just found this place. I use my Nighthwak for home internet and have a couple burning questions and cannnot find someone at AT&T knowledgable to ask.
1. Does the Etherne...
1) Yes, you can do that, but suggest turn off the WiFi in the Nighthawk itself.
2) I live in a remote area and I get nothing on my Nighthawk M1 without an external antenna. I have tried two: 1) The Proxicast 4G/LTE cross polarized panel antenna and later 2) a pair of Proxicast 9/11 dBi Ultra broadband antennas arranged in a cross polarized mounting.
I mounted them on a 10' mast from the high point on my house and ran 15' Low loss 50 ohm coax extension cables with SMA female to TS-9 pigtails to connect to the Nighthawk. Where I am, no perceptable improvement in performance from case 1 to case 2.

I have seen this suggestion early on in other posts, but it was never clear to me why turning off the M1 Nighthawk's WIFI is suggested when plugging it's ethernet port into a another WIFI router's WAN/Internet (input) port. Can you explain the reasoning?
The way I have tried hooking this up on my end, my M1 Nighthawk's WIFI IP range is 192.168.2.20 - 192.168.2.99 and the WIFI router it is connected to has a WIFI IP range of 192.168.0.20 - 192.168.0.99. Based on this, there is no WIFI IP conflict. It is unclear why else we should consider turning off the M1 Nighthawk's WIFI.
