Ok, understand new Helium Mobile SIM ... attempting to work it with the Nighthawk MR1100 -OR- a Helium Indoor Mobile HotSpot?
The Netgear device is covered in the more appropriate Cell Service Mobile Hotspot Modems, AirCards, & Mobile Routers section to discuss Cell Service (AC, L, and MR series) mobile hotspot modems, cards, and mobile router products.

What is the intention to operate both the MR1100 -and- the Helium HotSpot together? Anyway, a moderator can move your thread accordingly, no need to start with a new post.

The MR1100 is my primary internet source since everything else is too expensive in my rural area, the Helium hotspot is meant to extend the range better than some netgear PoEs I was using previously and make a little crypto while we use it. This worked for a few days.

LoRa WAN is mainly for IoT not require reasonable bandwidth, like for Smart Metering for electricity or water, or for the sake to host some small personal or private crypto mining (I understand this can be connected by Wi-Fi or by Ethernet), while the MR1100 is more an LTE 4G Internet connection. What have I missed? Netgear PoEs'
