Nighthawk Model# MR1100-100 - ethernet and internet connectivity
Nighthawk Model# MR1100-100 - ethernet connectivity Using Mac-mini: connection is shown, yet no traffic is shown with any app. Browser shows "no connection", mail does not load etc etc. Router is set to both tether and charge, 5Ghz only. (single or dual does not affect the situation) Mac is set to allocate the connection to Ethernet first, then Wifi etc. I have had wifi actually turned off on the mac, wanting to ascertain efficiency of the router via ethernet. It does work on occasion, but have yet to figure out if there is a "special boot sequence". If router is activated AFTER mac boots: Will not work. If router is already active BEFORE mac boots: Will not work. DURING wifi use, can sometimes get a response when mac system settings are changed to use ethernet as priority, but not consistent responses. If the mac is put to "sleep", Ethernet connection fails. If mac is running wifi and ethernet is prioritised and diconnected and then plugged in, a response can occur frm the router, but not always. In all of these cases it is possible to see that there is an ethernet connection recognised by the Mac with the grren "connected to internet" indication 8/10 times. Ethernet cable is brand new. ...so it really looks like a router hardware issue. Please advise. I have had this device for 7 days now from EE (UK) as my main internet AP, so I really need this to be reliable. LAST POINT: Using wifi or the odd occasion when ethernet also works, the web-page build/response time can be up to 24 sec. It is never under 6 seconds. This is both on wifi and ethernet. - OS: Sierra 10.12.6 Router Model: MR1100-100 H/W: 1.0 Firmware: NTG9X50C_10.20.05.00Issue with offloading to ethernet with the Nighthawk MR1100
Hi, I own the Nighthawk MR1100 mobile router and uses its offloading to ethernet feature. One of the networks I connect the router to requires to register the MAC address of the router in order to gain connectivity. This worked great until the recent firmware upgrade to version 12.02.06.00. After the upgrade, each time the router is restarted, the network detects a different MAC address for the router and sends me to the registration screen again. After registration the router is connected to the Internet, but having to register in the captive portal each time is a nuisance. I didn't find any settings to change this behaviour back to to having a fixed MAC address for the ethernet port. Please let me know if there is any workaround or ETA to fixing this issue. Also, it would be useful to be able to set the MAC address of the ethernet port to a user-provided value. Please consider adding this feature as well. Thanks!
