MR1100 on T-Mobile

[dec1000]

I assume it is a plan from OTR. You have tried all the APN's. Just make sure you reboot after changing them. Mine worked on Broadband and also on B2b.static. I had to get a static ip from OTR. I tried every setting in the book but still was only getting a little better than dial up. I gave up and found another company that offered ATT.

What company is still offering at&t?

[dec1000]

I went with Never Throttled. https://neverthrottled.com/

$85 a month. I got a Prepaid ATT Sim card from Target and signed up and gave them my sim number and was activated within 24 hours. There are other companies out there to Nomad Internet is another. $99 a month for them. Nomad has to send you a sim.

I have added the new SIM card from OTR to my Netgear and the light is still flashing...any help would be great

Did they assign you a static ip and did you set your APN

[mcanderson24]

Yes, it takes ~24 hours for you to get your email (mine went to junk),  but it's very easy to set your APN and it connects right up!

[cyndricks]

No nobody has helped me with any of it:( its frustrating. The card is in and i have some wifi but the netgear box is flashing green

[cyndricks]

what is a static guide? or APN?

[mcanderson24]

You'll have to get OTR to get your a static IP address. They'll send you setup instructions when they reserve your IP address.

I was on with the guy for over an hour and he never once mentioned this being my issue? IDK if they even know what I'm talking about. This has been the most frustrating day and I just need to work from home. UUGGHH

First thing you need to do is do a factory reset on the Nighthawk. Remove the back cover over the battery and get a paper clip and push the rest button holding it till you see it resetting. This will put it back to factory settings. After it boots back up connect to it on your computer. Then in a browser type 192.168.1.1   This should bring up the router page. Change your password and add passwords for your wireless. The reset will make the APN be set on Broadband. This will work if your card is activated and you should have internet. If not they are going to have to assign you a static ip.

If you had ATT before the switch over, there are other companies that you can get this service through. I have NeverThrottled which is $85 per month. To get service with them you can either order a sim card from them or what I did was went to Target and got an ATT tablet sim card and set the account up and was connected in less than 24 hours. You can also get the sim card from Bestbuy to

Another company is Puckwifi.com they have ATT for $65 a month.

I also went with Neverthrottled. Their default settings works great with the Nighthawk MR1100, so it's an easy setup.

Only took them a couple of hours for them to get me connected. Speeds are better than they were with OTR too!

I was using Blue Magic ISP with the netgear nighthawk mr1100. they suddenly dissapeared and although I continued to have service for a few weeks, that is now gone. Can I buy a prepaid t-mobile call/text/data card from amazon and use that? I'm guessing no or that would have been mentioned but just wanted to check. 

[FatStanley]

The cards you get at retail stores are limited. Can't get more than a couple of days of good use out of them.

Neverthrottled is unlimited. I stream all month long and use about 1TB, no issues.

I have otr with Tmobile. Lost service Friday was told Tmobile issued new blacklist imei. Went through all the steps with otr to no avail. They said its nation wide and they are trying to resolve it.

[dec1000]

Why do you keep putting up with them? There are plenty of other companies you can get service from. ATT cut them off so they went to TMobile. Now they are having issues with TMobile so they are trying to get people on some new deal with ATT. There is no reason to believe it is going to get better,

Here is my experience today.

-I bought a line of T-Mobile service today.

-When I use the T-Mobile SIM card in a Sonim XP8 I get fast speeds. For example, 141 Mbps down and 38.3 Mbps up.

-When I use the T-Mobile SIM card in an unlocked Netgear Nighthawk MR1100, my speeds are much slower. For example, 8 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up.  

-I suspect that my settings are wrong. What should I change?

-Current APN Settings:

APN Name:  T-Mobile

APN:  broadband

PDP:  IPV4V6

Authentication:  None

• Name: T-Mobile US LTE
• APN: fast.t-mobile.com

Hello I don't know much about this stuff but I looked at mine I have same router and I used to have AT&T on it. When it got canceled I took my sons hotspot (Franklin) from T-Mobile took SIM card out and inserted it into my unlocked MR1100 and it worked. But my APN says AT&T but the service is coming from T-Mobile. I'll upload pics. Maybe that would help you. And my downloads are between 30 and 100 mbps depending on time of day.
