Nighthawk MR5200 (M5) - We need your feedback!
Good day Nighthawk Community,
I'm reaching out to you today in hopes of soliciting your help. If anyone is experiencing any issues with the Nighthawk MR5200 (M5) Mobile Hotspot we want to hear ...

Hi,
maybe it is possible to also help with the issue we experience.
We own two MR5200, let's call one "old" and the other one "new".
We use to run "old" with a Vodafone (Germany) SIM which originally came from a "Vodafone GigaCube", some kind of relabeled HUAWEI 5G Router. This setup was running fine for about 12 Month or so, but recently we started to experience interruptions of LTE connections after 12 to 24 hours. Only a reebot of "old" would help getting reconnected.
So we bought "new", used the very same SIM card with it. We experienced, that "new" wouldn't even connect to LTE nor any other band.
So we ordered a fresh SIM card and used in "new" but experienced the very same behaviour. "new" wouldn't connect to any band.
When using the fresh SIM card in "old", we were back to a connect time of about 12 to 24 hours, but then again interruptions of the connection.
JohnPengcould you take a look at the model.json stats if we upload them?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Christine.
Really grateful to see this post.
I have a recently purchased MR5100 that receives a "disconnected" overnight on a regular basis. A reboot is needed to restore the service.
This M5 unit replaced a M1 router, but is significantly less reliable (operates 24x7 forhome internet over 4G).
Firmware version NTGX55_12.04.12.00.
Can't see any faciities to access logs, so I have NFI what is going on, but it's frustrating!
PM me for more details. Happy to help diagnose.
Feel free to delete this post.
Cheers.
