Nighthawk M1

Post by Barryc »

I have a AT&T nighthawk m1 that is unlocked I want to put my cell phone T-Mobile SIM card in the nighthawk. I have tried but it won't connect to the internet. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not real tech savvy.

Did you change the APN for T-Mobile which should be fast.t-mobile.com I believe. https://store4g.com/blog/netgear-nighth ... -settings/

Have the same plan myself. Mine works in a nighthawk m1. Don't use it regularly. Just on trips and stuff. Just used it over labor day weekend trip.
Have you ever used it in a hotspot device before? Will it hotspot in your phone?

Have you tried to use the reboot function from the router's page to see if it helps to apply the new APN? Also, you could access its console to use AT commands and set APN via AT+CGDCONT manually and test it out. https://mt-tech.fi/en/enable-manual-ban ... ar-mr1100/

Is there somewhere where you can test it another router or hotspot device? So can figure if the issue is the m1 or sim.

Your need a hotspot to test. Any cheap compatible one to make sure your sim works because that's what you are having trouble with the M1 or you could try to enable hotspot from your phone and see your other devices could connect to it and with non throttled speed tests.
