Nighthawk M1 or M2 extern supply

[asolepascual]

Can the Nighthawk M2 or M1 work without an inserted battery and as a fixed router? In other words, operate connected only to the power supply.
Thank you.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

The manual for the MR2100 says:

Your mobile router can receive power from any of the following sources:

• Rechargeable battery included with the mobile router
• Wall socket using the AC adapter and USB cable
• USB port on your computer

I leave it to you to read the other manuals.

The M2 works without a battery for sure. But there were reviews that the complete 9V 1.67A power adapter is not sufficient for intensive LTE and Wi-Fi operation. I bought Xiaomi Mi ZMI USB-A 18W QC 3.0 Fast Charge EU (HA612 Black) 9V 2A, I use both a charger and a power supply without a battery. Three months have passed and no complaints. But perhaps in your case the complete adapter will be enough.
