Nighthawk M1 No Internet (w/ Ethernet)
Hello Community,
I have a Nighthawk MK1 router with a sim card using lte connection. With all devices I use wifi to access the routers' internet connection.
These days I got to do home office as many others and I was hoping to connect the router via Ethernet to my notebook, getter a faster connection.
Unfortunately windows 10 detects the connection but says "no internet".
(I already switched off the Ethernet standby in the setting; rtfm was not helping so far)
Thanks for your support!
Ron

My first guess is that you need to tell Windows that you are on a "private network".
- Network and Internet settings
- Network Status
- Change Connection Properties
- Network Profile
- Private
I am told that this is all nonsense and that I have no idea what I am talking about. I have, however, done this myself and other people have also reported success.
You should also check that you have the latest LAN drivers for what is running Windows 10.
I would certainly investigate Windows a bit more deeply. Have you run its network troubleshooter?
Instead of using Ethernet port, I suggest you to use the device tethered to you laptop with the USB cable. Teh connection will be stable.
Thanks
