Hi, I bought a new unlocked device M1 MR1100 online, went to a local ATT store and purchased a data plan, plugged in the sim card, tried to connect my phone to it. The phone did connect to the hotspot, but it shows "internet may not be available". the message in the hotspot shows "your data connection is disconnected". The ATT store salesman could not figure it out. Can anyone help me out? Thanks a lot,John

Please check APN setting and check with yoru carrier whether the data service is blocked to the device or any changes on the service of your plan. WiFi disappearance is a different issue.

I'd previously used this on the Optus network (both directly and via reseller Aussie Broadband) but am not getting the Disconnected error. Was there any solution to the original post? Happy to send you my JSON output too, if that helps Thanks in advance, Nick Sorry for replying late. You can send me the model.json file if you still have the issue. Thanks

Hi johnliu Welcome to NETGEAR Community! If you are connected to the mobile router but cannot connect to the Internet, try the following suggestions: • Make sure that network coverage is available in your area. • Make sure that your SIM card is active and enabled with data services. • Wait one to two minutes for the mobile router to initialize. • Confirm that your account is activated and that no other Internet connections are active. • Switch your mobile router off and on and restart your computer or WiFi device. Regards, Blanca Community Team

After replacing the SIM card, I had trouble connecting. Followed all the various Troubleshooting directions to no avail. We are connected to our service but cannot yet connect to the Nighthawk. Even the Mobile app will not recognize this mobile router. Frankly, after two days of trying, I am my wits end. Please help.
