do you have a video on how to link the Netgear Nighthawk M1 or MR to a Netgear OR TP LInk router? How do I get my PC to connect and recognize the NightHawk and the Home Router? Thank you.
So from my mobile service provider I have to get and install a SIM card in addition to my smartphone thus I'm adding a line to the mobile service account?
Mine didn't come with a sim card, it wasn't in the slot and I couldn't find it in the box, I've tried looking for how to buy it but I have no idea where do find it, please help.
Hi. You said the device comes with a SIM card already in the box. Which provider and how much data is on this SIM card please? If purchasing for 2 / 3 foreign holidays per year, presumably, I would just need to buy a monthly data only SIM when needed? How would it work on a cruise ship when there are no mobile phone masts around…? Thanks in advance?
My unit goes to sleep and disconnects everything. Yes I disabled wi-Fi standby (under wireless-Globa Wireless Settings-wi-fi standby) and it still does it. Can you help?
I have a question. I own an Alcatel (Thro T-Mobile) and the area I'm in doesn't allow it to work as advertised. Can I get a Netgear Nighthawk hotspot, and just use my Alcatel sim card? Or do I have to go into a store to do this? Thank you very much.
How do you view text messages sent to the device? Do you log into the device intranet site? When I do this with a web browser on my PC, I can adjust settings, but no icon appears to view the text messages on the device.
Ok I'm new to this. I buy the nighthawk, put in the Sim card, battery, turn it on and enter passwords and it'll give me internet in my home? Do I need any other equipment?
It won’t allow me to enable wifi from the website. The device never came wifi enabled brand new out the box. How do I enable the wifi if the website to access the box isn’t allowing me to do so?
Wow you are a lifesaver i am a truck driver and ordered this from Bix Wireless it will be there long before i am so i asked my friend to test it out in the meantime and questions he had i could not answer but your vids do i just subscribed as i saw more useful vids on your channel ..Thanks
What alternative power cord u can use to charge the battery? I lost my power cord to charge the battery. Can I go to Five Below and buy a Type C usb to charge up the battery?
I have been trying to figure this out for month. It seems like it is too good to be true. I am seeing all these videos online with people using these and telling you how to set up with unlimited data. I cant find any data plan that is unlimited. Even on net gears website it says they work with T mobile but I call t mobile they just recommend me to t mobile home internet site. This is coming frustrating because I could really use this for my home internet since I live in a back house and can not get internet from the main house. can any one direct me on what to do and how I would be able to set this up once I buy it?
Did you find out? Im wondering if i can put in my phone sim card that has an unlimited data plan but only 15gb of hotspot, does that sim card still gives you unlimited data??? Im lost
@@MidnightWM So I ended up moving from the back house and now I live on a boat. I was trying to find a hotspot for the boat as I work from home. The best I could find (in my area) is the Verizon jetpack, which was on sale for $150. Their "Unlimited" plan for $70 ($65 with auto pay) is 15 GB high speed and after that it is pretty much useless. I believe you would be able to use your phones sim card but it would still recognize the hotspot data.
So if I already have WiFi for the house... but I want to get off it and get on my own for video games... would this hot spot give me my own little WiFi I can run off?
Hey it should just be a plug-in and you’re set. Try only plugging the Ethernet in w/o any other wired connection (except charging if you need it). Using a USB connection simultaneously would cause an issue.
Hello, this would be done because the internet provider usually will provide their own sim card. Sometimes it's possible to have them use the one that came with the device but some companies will only sell you a new sim to use their service. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
@@GaugingGadgets Thanks for your reply. So if it comes with a sim card like Bestbuy says it does, it's ok to use that one, right? If not I'll buy one from AT&T. Didn't want to screw it up by setting it up on a tablet plan.
You can recharge the battery. However, If you're using it for home use you don't have to use the battery at all, just plug the charger into a wall outlet and you will be good to go!
so i have this device tho i got it trew a therd pardy i am looking to change from thim my qestion is if i buy a unlimited sim card and intaly it and reset up evering will it work i liked and how wude i do that
Just brought this for netbuddy how do I register the Sim card the website is terrible at explaining
Iam having the same problem how do I activate the sim card???
@@lostboyxxx Same
How do I get internet from it tho?
DreamZz Live Chat, some tech guy will ask for the order number.
You have to have a sim card. The sim card receives the internet waves. To get the internet you have to connect to the internet with ssid and password
What internet service provider is the nighthawk with and what is the cost of the plans
exactly my question
exactly my question 👏🏼
Hey, so, my nighthawk just stopped working one day, I charged it and it didn’t turn on.
Thanks. For some reason I first tried looking figuring it out/checking forums/reading the manual. Big mistake. Should have checked youtube instead.
I lose everything when I do that set-up, ( no internet ) and then I cannot get back into my MR1100 unless I do a factory reset !
Can I unlock this and use it with Tmobile or another GSM network?
Apparently I read that T-Mobile and att&t are the best to use it with

Is it common for the battery to go bad after about a year and half of consistently being plugged in?
Can use metro pcs SIM card with it
What size is the sim card?
If you don’t have one go to your company the one you have on your phone and ask to activate a SIM card for it
Mine didn't come with a sim card, it wasn't in the slot and I couldn't find it in the box, I've tried looking for how to buy it but I have no idea where do find it, please help.
Did you ever figure it out ?
I live in th country and have Hughesnet (SUCKS)...I also have Verizon. Am I going to have to get AT&T service!?... the calls drop a LOT out here!
I use T-mobile sim, with MR1100 , But I never can get the correct " Router's Administration Panel password" under username: admin, please help me
So you can throw a T MOBILE Sim card in the device?
@@iamtezzy5873 bought mine un-locked and yes you can throw any sim card in it, it configures it for you.
some one told me @ i have to unlocked this device! It's true or just do like your video?
Do you have to charge the battery or can you just keep the router plugged in until you have to unplug it for something

How do I pay the bill

So the sim I comes with is all you need?
No you need to get one with service on it from AT&T or T-MOBILE
What mod do you use
Dose it work with us cellular or Verizon?
will it work on verizon?
Please talk slower.
Change your video speed
So if I already have WiFi for the house... but I want to get off it and get on my own for video games... would this hot spot give me my own little WiFi I can run off?
How do I know if i have a sim card that is good?
What’s the sim thing on the bottom for
Hi.. our nighthawk started blinking orange? Any info on that?
Thanks
Mark Lively It’s low on battery
Your no help
Thanks for making it easy to set up man. I appreciate it! AT&T themselves tried to make it all complicated, glad I found this quick vid
Do you have to have AT&T?
Why is my device saying mobile broadband disconnect
That’s what mine says. Did you ever figure it out?
Mine also
Anyone know how to enable the Ethernet ports? Or a video that shows how?
Hey it should just be a plug-in and you’re set. Try only plugging the Ethernet in w/o any other wired connection (except charging if you need it). Using a USB connection simultaneously would cause an issue.
How do I get the my cellular data turned on?
Did you figure this out I have the same problem
How do you remove the back?
Mine has arrows... push in that direction!
Why do you use another sim card first rather than the one that comes with it?

Are the 4g speeds on the router faster than the 4g speeds you'd get from your phone??
They are the same. It's the same service.
@@GaugingGadgets arent routers supposed to make it faster tho lol

Eric Stein I’m trying to do the same thing. But this and but some unlimited data plan and put it in there. But I can’t find anything like that.
So fond out the reson this happened is cus only unlimited plan is for phones and thes compiny can shut it off for a reason
Eric Stein Ohh ok Im calling them rn to like see what can I do
@@Insane_CLipzs if you whont unlimited service you need to find a 3rd pardy that offers grandfather in planes that no longer exist
