NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 4G LTE WiFi Mobile Hotspot (MR1100-100NAS) – Up to 1Gbps Speed, Works Best with AT&T and T-Mobile, Connects Up to 20 Devices, Secure Wireless Network Anywhere

I was going to send this back but decided to give it 'one more try'. I'm happy to report it all worked out. I contacted my carrier tech support, who hit some magic button, and VIOLA! It works! And works very well. This thing is quite fast, latency is about on par with my fiber optic internet service! Yeah, it's fast. The trouble I was having was in setting up the APN section of the router. The manual doesn't give you much information, and simply guessing what info goes in that section won't help you get going. Plus, there are features that you cannot simply turn on, you need approval from your carrier. After getting it going I did a speed test, nothing spectacular, but 47MBPS (Bytes, not bits) down and 25MBPS up isn't too shabby for something not yet fine tuned. I'm no power user so that works for me just fine. I use YouTube and stream music more than I watch TV so this will be just fine. At 47MBPS I can stream 2 videos at one time if I choose, not that I would. This unit has a rather large battery as compared to the entire package, but that's a good thing. I have no idea how long it takes to charge one up, and probably never will know how long it lasts since I plan on tethering it to my laptop or desktop computers. It also works without a battery installed if you do like I'm going to do, tether it to my computers. I bought this in preparation for an Arizona snowbird trip next month. Not getting any answers from the RV parks in Arizona I decided to find my own solution. 4G is plenty fast for myself. At any rate my cell carrier limits me to 60GB per month, with the threat of throttling my speed if I surpass that. I probably will based on what I use now, about 3GB per day. For those interested I found out that Google Chrome has a feature for YouTube where you can kill the video and just listen to the audio portion of YT videos. Since a lot of my YT usage is advice type videos I can kill the video portion and enjoy the audio knowing that I'm not racking up half a gig for that 25 minute 'video'. The answers are always out there, you just need to know how to ask the questions.

For years I have had to suffer without good internet. The only options I had out here was satellite or dial up. For the longest time I was using a Sprint USB router on a Cradlepoint router. Then AT&T offered us a home LTE internet plan. (that was garbage after using it for 3 weeks) then I went around looking at LTE modems. And found this M1 router. And I have loved this thing ever since I found it. So the first thing I love about this router is it works with any LTE plan offered by almost all services (except Sprint because Screw them) I already had a plan with AT&T, but out of curiosity I went and got plans with Verizon and T-Mobile. Verizon worked as expected. No problem with them. T-Mobile doesn’t work well out here so I wasn’t able to truly test them here. (I also tested this In Canada. Bell, Rogers, and Freedom work with this, Never got a chance to work with Telus) For those that want to do more with this then Just know “it works” The M1 Router Is fully capable of being telnetted into and reprogrammed in different ways, my main purpose for doing this was to program it to Specifically connect to only B12 and B14. (the two higher speed main LTE bands for AT&T where I live) I think there are a few more things you can do but im not sure, I didn’t do too much. As a Home internet service, this Modem is fantastic. I paired it up with my Nighthawk router for a very simplistic look. Because it charges with USB-C I was able to plug this indirectly to the router and charge it with that. However, you cannot use the USB tether with the router so I needed to use an ethernet cable in the back. You get much better speeds out of this thing if you put the WIFI signal on the device to low or just off. I also picked up a antenna for this and hung it out my window. I love that the most about this device. As a travel device for internet. This thing is really awesome, the battery life is about 4-8hrs depending on what you use it for. Not really much for me to say about travels with this thing. It just does what it’s suppose to do, and easy to charge in the car. (one of the benefits of being charged with USB-C) All in all. This little thing was worth the money I paid for it. I’ll probably be using this thing for a really long time. If you need a home LTE internet service? Start here. This thing is really great for work, home, and just travel, and much better then that Hotel WIFI that you get really skeptical about cause you only paid $20 for the night.

Netgear M1/M1100 is not working in Canada with any sim card. And, the battery is not charging after a few uses. This battery not charging problems happen to many Netgear LTE routers, be careful. The router is expensive.

The router is fine. Mine came with a power plug from overseas not suitable for Australia. USA possibly

Exelente router mifi Netgear Está desbloqueado.. puedes usar la SIM de cualquier compañía Lo uso con Telcel en México Tiene su pantalla LCD dónde se ve la información de red así como los datos en uso Y los remanentes..si tienes plan de renta Lo recomiendo al 💯%

راوتر جيد وسهل الاستخدام

This device may seem to be a bit on the pricey side, but leaps and bounds better than any other other device I've encountered. It takes a micro SIM, and worked flawlessly and painlessly with TELUS. The admin setup was very easy (note: the default password is under the battery, but it's not necessary, because the first time you go to 192.168.1.1, it will prompt you to set your own password). It will also work without the setup - just use the default, random WiFi password that's clearly displayed on the screen. The display clearly states the amount of data consumed on the plan, and a great feature tells you how many days are left. Tapping the button will scroll between different display screens on the device. A standout feature is that the Nighthawk has a RJ45, and supports 2.4GHz as well as 5GHz, and like any regular router, you can disable either of the wifi antennas if you don't need them, for example, if you want to connect this directly to a desktop as its primary/only source of internet. In that scenario, another great feature is that you can simply unplug the battery. The device works perfectly with no battery - it simply says battery 0%, no nags, or anything else to indicate a "problem". I have not yet extensively used this, but it seems snappy in both the interface and internet speed.
