Nighthawk M5 AT&T Looking for APN
For SafeLink Wireless, I pay for the extra unlimited data allowance, I'm also using the Verizon tower coverage, but it shows no signal nothing, when I had the T-Mobile coverage towers and sim variant...

If those APNs aren’t working, it’s likely not the settings — the Nighthawk M5 doesn’t fully support all Verizon bands in many areas. That’s why it worked fine on T-Mobile but shows no signal on the Verizon side. You can test the SIM in another Verizon-ready device to confirm coverage, but in most cases switching back to a T-Mobile–based SIM gives better results on the M5.
