Netgear Nighthawk M1 Hotspot Review - MR1100 Overview

Ғылым және технология

NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 Mobile Hotspot Router (MR1100)
NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 on Amazon: geni.us/NetgearHotspot
Looking to get a new 4G mobile hotspot? In this review, I go over the Netgear Nighthawk M1 MR1100 Hotspot Modem and Router. The Netgear Nighthawk M1 Mobile Hotspot features an internal battery that last ~20 hours, dual band 2.4g and 5g Wifi network, and the ability to share media over the network.

Netgear Nighthawk M1 MR1100 Support page: www.netgear.com/support/produ...
I've been using the Netgear Nighthawk M1 MR100 for 6 months as my main source of internet. I've used it both on the road while traveling and in my home connected to my home router. It has worked great with fast speeds and long battery life. Using the Nighthawk hotspot on road trips has been great and allows me to have full internet while on the road.

    Excellent review. Im glad you went through all the menus. It helped me see that it does have a UPnP. My Nighthawk is currently being shipped. Thanks again for the detailed review. Made me hit subscribe.✌

    Great videos. The best i've found for the MR1100. Thanks for posting them! I have one big question. Do you have any advice for how to optimize the advanced cellular settings to improve cell tower signal? I'm on the ATT network, and out of the box I was only getting one or two bars but decent speeds. Change the band region to WCDMA All and bars increased to 4, but speeds were terrible. LTE All was slightly better bars and medium speeds. Any thoughts or other ways to improve cell tower signal? I use the device on the go in the field, and would also be interested in additional antennas that might help. THanks!

    You need to buy a Cel-Fi Go X signal booster. They are not cheap but worth every dollar. I bought one for my home because i only had 1 bar on my phone. Now I have 4-5 bars of LTE and a signal in every room where I had no service. I'm now going to get the MR 1100 and use that as my home internet. Being able to connect it to my router is going to be awesome! FYI my download speed is 28 mbps and 3 mbps!

    You can if your wired router supports more. You set it for IPpassthough DHCP off and it will only provide internet to the wired router. That wired router will issue IPs and provide wireless, if it has that option. Wireless will be DISABLED on the Nighthawk when set this way. Your wired router will be doing all the routing work. The Nighthawk will be just a modem. I currently have mine plugged into an 8 port switch with Nighthawk set normally doing all the routing function, as 20 devices is more than enough for me. It covers my wired/wireless needs.
