Re: Data Offloading M2

Hi
This is about a Nighthawk M2 but only M1 shows in list.
I have only 80GB allowance per month and I am using WiFi offloading through my mobile. Even with 20MBPS with the phone, the router still drops back to WiFi. It bounces back and forth from WiFi to offloading.
My provider charges $10/GB after the cap and I can't stop it. Is ther a way to turn off the modem while still using the routing function? It's costing me a bomb.
Is there a way to force it to ONLY offload?
Thanks

Hi Dougal_McBear,
What you could try is to disable cellular data so that if it ever fell back to LTE modem from Offload it would not use any data. Log into the WebUI then Settings>Advanced Settings>Cellular - Uncheck cellular data and hit apply.
Other option is to remove the SIM card.

Re: Data Offloading M2
Thanks ArodiD
I had a "derrr..." moment as soon as I posted that. Remove the SIM! Obvious really.
A bit tedious so I will try the cellular setting as you suggest.
