Mr1100 mobile broadband disconnected

My mr1100 using simnetwireless says mobile broadband disconnected. Apparently netgear and tmobile are working on a fix and anyone confirm this? Any fixes that I'm unaware of would help. I'm in a rural area and this is my only way of connect besides sprint phone and connections are slow and not consistent any reply would be appreciated.

Re: Mr1100 mobile broadband disconnected

As we found out that if you are using a data plan for tablet from T-Mobile, the SIM would not work any more with M1. You need to ask T-Mobile to change your plan for Mobile Hotspot for your SIM to work again on M1.

 

Thanks

Hi @Webbwulf

 

Kindly try the following APN settings if this works for you: 

 

APN Name : Fix

APN : b2b.static 

PDP and PDP Roaming : IPv4

 

@melwiththecell shared this information and this resolved the issue:

Re: Mr1100 mobile broadband disconnected

I just tried that with one of my M1's and it did not work.  It just said connected on status then disconnected.  I have 2 of these devices and 2 lines that i am paying for and they are currently useless.  Also i was not able to downgrade bios, so both are now upgraded to the latest version.

Re: Mr1100 mobile broadband disconnected

I am having the same issue with T-Mobile. The APN settings didn't help either.

Re: Mr1100 mobile broadband disconnected

Hi John,

 

So is AT&T blocking the M1 like T-Mobile? My router was working just fine the other day then it disconnected and I haven't been able to reconnect. Will I need to purchase another SIM card or change the plan with them?
