Current issue being experienced with the M1:
When I have the device connected to a laptop, no battery, and plugged in using the included power adapter, the M1 will power-cycle frequently.
On a Win7 PC this power-cycle occurs 1-2 every 8 hours. On a Mac running High Sierra, it occurs every 1-2 minutes.
Resolution so far is to put the battery back in, disconnect from the power cable, and continue to use ethernet.
Bad power cable?
That definitely sounds like a power-cable issue. You should open a support ticket. Good luck!
Sharing this update for awareness:
I submitted a trouble-ticket and was told that my device was constructed specifically for AT&T and I needed to take it back for an exchange to the nearest AT&T store. Not having that time available, I attempted other fixes.
I ended up seeing success by using the included power cable and plugging that USB into a 3rd-party USB cover plate - the kind you can pick-up at any hardware store and plugs into a standard outlet to provide a dual-USB charging platform. The particular device I'm using has 2 - 2.5v chargers and has been powering the M1 for 4 days straight now, without any power-cycling.
I did try various other chargers to determine if that was my cause, including a: 2.5v stand-alone, a 5.0v stand-alone, a 10w and 12.5w stand-alone - but all ended up power-cycling the device after a random period of time.
Not sure why the dual-USB outlet module works, but it has and continues to keep the device powered without a battery installed.
How do you reset the password from the factory supplied password to one that you would rather use?
You have 2 options:
1. Download the Netgear App via the Google store or iPhone App store. Once installed, you'll have to connect to your Netgear Wifi with the admin credentials and then you can change the Administrative password.
2. Connect to the Netgear Wifi and navigate via web browser to ATTWIFIMANAGER.com or 192.168.1.1 and get to the web console. After logging in with the default admin crednetials, you can then modify the password as needed.
Thank you.
Yes, I did that yesterday at the AT&T store when I bought the Nighthawk, and I used the app while there (sales person wasn't helpful) to enter a password I can remember. Got home hooked everything up (this little devil is much faster than my old AT&T Netgear wifi) but the device still wants me to use the password it came with. Got on my desktop computer, went to the online site, did the "admin" thing by going to settings, entered my new password, clicked on save at the bottom and still no luck.
I've done this 6 times since last night and one time this morning with no luck in setting up a new password for the Nighthawk.
i want to use this on my existing wired network. i cannot find any documtation on how to do this?
- How does one go about changing the NAT to open?
Having trouble with my xbox live connectivity. I can connect ok, but the IP comes in as IPV4 and a Strict NAT Type. I would like to know if it is possible to adjust the Nighthawk settings to make the NAT Type either open or moderate. Also, is it possible to make the router IPV6?
Two questions:
Is this mobile hotspot available (in the USA) only through AT&T, or if not which other carriers is it compatible? Related question: can it be purchased in an unlocked version?
Will this device work with the Netgear Smart Cradle DC 112A?
- There is a Great Britain variety, but unsure of the carrier. Additionally, I have seen mention that the device accepts a T-Mobile SIM and will attach to that network.
You can buy an unsubsidized model through AT&T, then request the unlock code through their website. Usually within 48 hours, you’ll receive an emailed unlock code that can be entered.- Also - not sure about the cradle. I bought the Netgear TS-9 antenna and hooked it up to the Netgear via exposed antenna ports. Used Ethernet to connect to an Apple AirPort Extreme and it works well enough.
How can I find out the individual data usage of the connected devices. Showing 3GB of data usage in 30 minutes - want to know what device is the culprit.
So I purchased the Netgear Nighthawk mobile hotspot from AT&T, the manager there informed me this was best hotspot to by for gaming which is why I bought it, so my son could play with his friends on his XBox, but now I can NOT seem to get the NAT off of STRICT.... can anyone help me with this..... AT&T is not help, after 2 hours, and another 2 hours with Microsoft, they both said it is a firewall within NEtGEAR....
ok, I read through a LOT of post and cannot seem to get a consensus on this. I've tried others brand like Franklin but usually quits in two or three days. Tried everything including taking out battery. Going to give this one a try but really need to feel like it's going to work especially with a contract involved. This is the ATT one Thank in advance for your help.
I purchased the Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router, MR1100, from AT&T. The first unit started powering down ramdomly after using it a few days. I have it set to not go to sleep. To get it to turn back on, I need to pop the battery out, put it back together and then press the power button to restart. I exchanged the unit on the 14th day for a new one. It started out fine and after a bout a week, It is again powering down unexpectedly and I need to remove/ reinsert the battery to get it to reboot. The frequency of power offs is increasing. Any ideas? I checked for updates and it is on the current software version available.
When we can expect a new Firmware for the M1 with fixes?
So long time ago since last Update and Support don´t answer that question.
currently Version 12.02.07.00 the lastest Version for Nighthawk M1 Aircard MR1100-100EUS.
Thanks
My router apparantly just did a download. I know this because it went offline. Got it back working then did the update. but now it won’t stay on with battery out. Any ideas on this? Was running it without the battery with an upgraded charger. Been working fine for almost a year.
