Nighthawk MR1100 suddenly started freezing internet connection and requiring reboot often
Using it with an AT&T SIM card. Never had issues, already tried factory reset and signal refresh from SIM provider. Always worked fine. Problem started after a blackout (using power, no battery). ...
While it is happening are you able to ping out? I suspect both of you haven't fully investigated if the whole connection is down. Websites being accessible does not necessarily mean it is "frozen" or that your internet connection is completely down. Your connection consists of 65,536 ports and the web only accounts for 2 of those ports. Have you tested the other 65,534 ports? Are you able to ping sites?
ping was fine. If I used VPN, I could still connect to web sites. Without VPN, http/https access was blocked. It seems to be an issue on ATT side.

- Now you are on the right track. Yes, it is AT&T, but it is not an "issue". They block web ports after you use (x) amount of data and they check for this at (y) time intervals. It resets this counter if you re-establish a connection (reboot, change bands, change towers). It is intentional. They started this in June. Because people with connected car plans should be moving between towers.
Are you on an AT&T Connected Car Plan? Or An AT&T IPad data plan?
