Nighthawk Mobile stops working
Howdy.
I just replace my old hotspot with a Nighthawk MR1100 and am having an odd problem. The mobile router will suddenly stop allowing the internet connection to devices. The router still shows a...
The default IP address of the NightHawk is 192.168.1.1.
You can access the web interface via http://192.168.1.1
Ok. I can connect to the internet only when it is connected to a computer via usb cable.
I can connect tall of my devices to the wifi but it does not have internet access on 2 or 5.
the IP on the router is shown as 192.168.1.1
The wifi is set up as WPA2_Personal_AES
So, the Nighthawk does connect to ATT with the SIM card.
It can 'connect' to a multitude of devices, including laptops, desktops, phones, printers.
It cannot provide internet access to any of them wirelessly.
Broken router? I did not change any of the settings that were default.
This mobile router has been turned off for two days, so a restart will not help.
Please advise if I should return this for replacement.
I did a factory reset and the wifi now works.
I will try to capture data if/when it quits again.
Thanks
And...... it quit again. Returned the mobile router to Best Buy and was sent another. Worked great for two days!
Now, it works intermittantly. Everything is going smoothly and suddenly no internet !!!!! The router still shows LTE connection and the up and download icon thingys. The computers are still connected to the router and the router shows that they are connected. The ATT cell tower connection is still working on the iPhones and the Iphones can work as a hotspot, so I do not believe there is a carrier issue.
Quite annoying!!!! There were seven devices connected to the mobile router. If we wait ten minutes, sometimes it 'fixes' itself. Otherwise, we have to turn it off and then back on. So far, I am not impressed. I will say the speed is better than the previous netgear mobile router.
I have a netgear network expander connected as well, but the connection fails even when directly connected to the router.
Hi,
I think you haven't answered the question previously asked.
When you connect to the router and the connection drops, are you still able to access the mr1100's interface at http://192.168.1.1 ?
