Nighthawk M1 Issues
Good Evening: I've got a Nighthawk M1 (Telstra Supplied) in use as the primary internet connection for a client as their Fibre Connection has been delayed. Generally speaking the device works well ...

Hi
I have a customer who can't receive ADSL or Fibre at the moment, and also wants to use the device in this manner. Can you send me whatever you sent to BusinessConnect please?

I'd be very wary upgrading. I upgraded ours with the Beta Firmware and its pretty much "bricked" the Device. Connection remains active for around 60-120 seconds and then hangs with no Data Flow.
I've reverted to a Dovado Pro Router with a Sierra AC320U USB Stick Modem and that's been rock solid for 4 weeks+Hi,
Thank you for responding to my post. I assume that you were recomended to upgrade to the Beta firmware?
The speeds on this device are impressive, but probably far in excess of what my client realistically requires. What are required is a secure and reliable connection.
Which router model did you select? Did you consider using one with an integral LTE/3G/4G built in?
Thanks for your help

I used the Dovado Pro AC because it has some good "Watchdog Features" when it comes to the 4G Internet.
It has Power Control to the USB Port... so if a connection drops it will actually power cycle the USB Port where the Modem is connected.
These Routers are really one of the view I've had a good solid expeirence with. Obviously the Aircard 320U isn't as fast as the M1.... but the client works well enough on 30mbps Up/Down..
