Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router – Gigabit WiFi on the Go – AT&T Networks
The wait is over! Experience fast premium WiFi on the go, with the Nighthawk Mobile Hotspot Router on AT&T. You can take it with you! The Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router is your ultimate mobi...
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.
I bought this unit from AT&T, requested and received the unlocking code. AT&T also provided this helpful advice: " Unlock instructions: Contact your manufacturer if you have additional questions."
I found the Netgear User manual for this device (80+ pages), but it does not appear to contain any unlocking instructions. I submitted an email support ticket to Netgear for help (not easy to do by the way, the website is not user friendly) and I'm waiting to hear back.
That’s helpful, thanks!
Can anyone tell me about compatibility with the cradle? I need the cradle to boost the output (big house) and to connect to an external antenna (remote area).
