NETGEAR Mobile Broadband Driver

Hello, 

I’m currently using the MR1100 (Nighthawk M1) mobile router and need to reinstall 
the “NETGEAR Mobile Broadband Driver (V8.2.1.0)” for Windows.

However, the official link (https://downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/MR1100/NETGEAR_MBB_Driver_V8.2.1.0.exe)
returns an “AccessDenied” XML message.

Could someone (Netgear Support or community users) please provide a verified 
copy or alternative official mirror for this driver?

Thank you!

    This is not listed in the support downloads for the MR1100

    And googling with site:netgear.com doesn't give any hits.

     

    FWIW,  I am puzzled on why you'd need a windows driver.  Normally you'd connect to the hotspot using normal WiFi, ethernet, or USB-C.  None should require any windows drivers.
