Nighthawk M6 Pro (MR6450)

I recently purchased this, dare I say, rather expensive product & must say that thus far I'm having trouble finding the optimum settings to achieve reasonable wifi coverage either on battery power or on mains power with the battery removed. I have tried connecting the Nighthawk to an eero 6 wifi mesh via ethernet & although a bit cumbersome for anything other than a fixed location, it seems to work quite well.

 

However, as a newbie to MiFi I would really appreciate any advice on how to get the best wifi coverage, when away from home, from my Nighthawk M6 Pro using just battery power and/or  mains power with the battery removed.

  • I have the MR6110. their range isn't the greatest for their wifi as their a hotspot. 

    Connecting it to your eero is a great option for better coverage. 

    You'd want the M6 put in passthrough mode when you connect it to the eero.
