Nighthawk m1

Question, can a normal WiFi router be connected to the Nighthawk M1 to extend the WiFi range?  I need to connect to devices about 50 yards away.  Outside with no obstructions.

    Yes. You can connect a WiFi router to M1's ethernet port to extend the WiFi coverage.

     

    It is better to set the M1 to Bridge mode and turn of M1's WiFi under such setup. If you plan to use M1 7/24, suggest you to use the M1 without battery if the WiFi connections are stable.
