Nighthawk MR5200 no wifi
I.ve had my Nighthawk MR5200 for a month, it worked fine although only a minor improvement on my previous £50 Huawei mobile router used at the same address. Two weeks in it started to dropout and the frequency of dropouts grew until now a month old it no longer provides a wifi signal. I have tried resetting to factory defaults and starting from fresh, no change. I have removed the sim and refitted in both the old Huawei and my mobile phone and all works perfectly so its not the isp. I was led to believe I had bought a Premium product from a premium company but I've been left gobsmacked by the way I have been treated. Never again. My fault, I never retained the sales receipt, so am now in a position whereas community forums are my only hope of finding a solution unless I pay for aftersales assistance, but I'm reluctant to throw even more hard earned cash down the drain. Anyone have any idea's or should I just cut my losses and bin the piece of sh-t ?

- Thanks, the update is, after all the efforts and untold lost hours of my life, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the MR5200 has now been binned 🙂
