M1 Nighthawk (MR1100-100NAS) w/T-Mobile Broadband Connection
I purchased the MR1100-100NAS (August 2019) and I use T-Mobile for its mobile broadband internet. Initial setup (OOBE) was quick and easy. My M1 is used soley as a modem and I have an Asus RT-AX88U A...
T-Mobile has down another round of IMEI blocking for the mr1100, if you are on the tablet or phone plans they are blocking this devices IMEI and it will not go online, I Talked to TMO the other day about this, and unless you are on a hotspot plan which you have really ask about it is not advertised on the site at all you have to ask support about it. there is no unlimited for that and will bounce down to 3G as soon as the data is used up and largest offered plan is like 22GB and it isn't really worth the cost. Only real option would be to swap the IMEI of the modem out though I am not sure how to do this directly.
- I think you're right on about TMobile. The service was good while it lasted. Their hotspot plan is garbage. But they are testing (not in my market) home internet for $50/mo. The only thing I don't like about it is you're limited to service at your home address (not mobile).
I'm researching other mobile broadband providers, OTR supports this modem but they use TMobile infrastructure, not sure how that would work. Nomad internet offers TMobile, Verizon, and At&T at different rates, based on the carrier. 4G Antenna is supposed to make a big announcement this coming week.----Update----
I was able to the MR1100 online again. The IMEI needed changed. In order to do this, used the DC Unlocker app. It was fairly simple to use and worth the price to get the nighthawk back online. I recommend using a random IMEI generator for your new IMEI.
APN/other settings?
I changed the IMEI, but still get the Broadband Disconnected error message
