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!

Although the login and password for the APN are blank, setting the APN authentication to PAP or CHAP seemed to have solved the problem of frequent disconnection and unable to reconnect.
The M5 automatically showed asterisks for the password which was blank when the setting was NONE.
Tried this, no joy..

rylos,
By "script", are you referring to my posted outputs 2 posts back?
It's straight C, compiled for a PI3. It makes use of this web URL:
Punch that into your web browser and you'll get a rather detailed JSON dump of
the devices current state.
I could bundle the code together into a tarball if there is any interest.
This might be useful for some:
It is possible to use AT commands on the Mx series over a telnet session to port 5510. Instructions are here:
https://mt-tech.fi/en/enable-manual-band-selection-on-netgear-mr1100/
These are for an MR1100, but setup of telnet is the important part to understand.
You can get a list of supported AT commands from the command AT+CLAC
$ telnet 192.168.1.1 5510
