Can I use the Nighthawk M1 as an everyday whole house internet? If it’s plugged in all the time would there be a fire hazard with the battery? I’m assuming when you plug in the unit, it also charges the battery? Any safety issues I should consider?

Hi Shotgunmiss If you plan to run the device 24/7, we suggest you to power the device with the PA only without inserting battery. This way, it will avoid the battery from getting hot and impacting the device's performance. Regards, Blanca Community Team

I didn't use that specific device but I had a different netgear hotspot used as 24/7 internet for a while. It worked well and was constantly powered on.

Hi, just use without a battery! But use an original cable and a charger...
