Streaming issues with Nighthawk M1
I mainly use this hotspot in the car for streaming i-radio. Unfortunately the link to the mobile network gets lost quite often for a short time and therefore the sound interrupts, not quite enjoyable to listen to music this way.
The sim card or the provider itself shouldn't be a problem since I checked it with a mobile phone using the tethering function and it all runs well without any interrupts.
Does anyone have a hint why that is or could be?
Thanks in advance for any support!
Anyway, testing it further the past days, it somehow seems to be solved. Now it just works fine. I have no clue why that is. A possibility could be that the SIM card somehow must have been "activated" through a mobile phone...? Since I had it in the phone and then switched back to the nighthawk it now runs just fine. I hope it stays this way :-)
Thanks for any help.
Bye.

Hi John
Thanks for getting in touch.
SKU is MR1100-100EUS.
Carrier is sunrise.
Download speed: ca. 20 MBit/s
Upload speed: ca. 18 MBit/sRTT: ca. 40 ms
speedtest server is hsi.hsr.ch
These values are in line with the mobile phone that I used as hotspot "reference" (where the music runs smooth).
Thanks, Mike
