So I need to pay Double for Internet? I already have T-Mobile, but I need a Subscription Wirlessbuy? (What a Rip-off, I'd buy the Router, but I'm not paying for TWO SUBSCRIPTIONS) FUCK THAT I"M OUT!!!
Hey can someone answer a question or two for me, I'm currently at college and the dorm wifi doesn't allow my ps4 to connect I think it's something about UPnP so I was looking for a substitute and found this. First question is would this work for ps4 I saw in comments that it worked for Xbox one. Second, once I purchase this what do I do next, will I have to go to Metro Pcs and ask for an unlimited data sim card? Third if I do purchase a sim card after I insert the card to the router does it take it from there, will it work without further steps? Really trying to watch what I purchase mostly because I dont want to spend 200+ on a router that doesn't work.
I want to cut cable+ internet subscription for this (living in a 1 bedroom condo.. This is possible, correct? Anyone here with real experience? Cheers!
lewelly2 I use At&T. I have a plan that was grandfathered in last year that is no longer sold to the public where I have completely unlimited data but they can throttle my speed after 22gb of use per month but only if there is a lot of network congestion.But, I live in a rural area and that RARELY ever happens and if it does it’s only during the middle of the day during the work week. At night time it never happens. Like right now I have 8 days left until my monthly cycle of data resets back to zero and I’m currently at 187gb used for this moth! Also, even though I have used 187gb of data so far I am getting about 80-90mbps of download speed. Like I said earlier during the day if they do throttle me which again RARELY happens to me and only during the work week it goes from 80-90mbps to about 25-30mbps until about 5:30pm then it shoots back up to 80-90mbps. If I were you I would get the Verizon plan which every person has recommended to me even a customer service representative for At&t told me to use the Verizon unlimited plan because it’s WAY BETTER! He was a gamer as well and he said that was the best service to use with it. Hope this helps!!

The review is a little misleading. Whether or not you get unlimited data un-throttled has nothing to do with the router, but with the provider. If you connect this to a network who's provider doesn't allow unlimited data or feels you are abusing your data usage, they can very well throttle you, or even worse cancel you. I have friends who use this very router to IRL stream, and on a regular basis they have to buy new sim cards because the upstream provider cancels their sims due to network usage.
Great video. T-Mobile coverage has really expanded their coverage in my area over the last few years so it might be worth exploring again for home internet access (I still couldn't switch to them for my voice/phone). I should buy another Walmart Family plan sim and test T-mobile out again...
Got one unlocked from Amazon, run to T-Mobile store, pay $95.00, run back home connect two devices and WOW! it works.... 30Gbs speed for 3 days. Now, after 22GB data consumed, it is running at 129Kbs! WTF is going on here?

I was wondering when something like this was coming out I mean it's more convenient and smart vs a home plan plus a cellphone plan I can cancel both and use the internet with me whenever I go I'll just use wifi calling and texting instead
I've been using a Samsung Hotspot which manifested uneven data speeds with T-Mobile often having the uploads higher than the downloads. The most I could get out of it was a jump to around 30 Mbits or less on the download, I then swithched to the M1 and on the same area where I would get less than 15 Mbits I got 72 Mbits with the M1. Definitely worth it! By the way, the measurement was made using an iPhone 7 Plus connected to the 5 GHz WIFI on the M1.
This is my second one after my first router stopped working. I had good speed until the recent weeks when it has totaly dropped. I use an external antenna because of poor connection. The ts9 connection to the antenna is really poor though with loose contact. "SIM not installed" appears pretty often when I try to switch SIM so it 's probably a good idea not to use a nano- or micro-SIM. Battery-life is far from what Netgear tells, I've never managed to keep battery life longer than 6 hours. It might work ok for someone who travel a lot and stays in areas with decent reception, but if you plan to use it in an off-grid cabin with unreliable reception I would recommend a more solid router like teletonika or something similar.
We got one from AT&T with a "unlimited tablet data plan" for the "galaxy tab 2" and set up 2 wifi extenders in the house and we get 25-40mbps+ up from 5mbps
Bought the NightHawk MR1100 wireless modem/router and it worked as robust as advertised .. however it rolled over and died 81 days after I bought it (shit happens) .. went to Netgear's site, registered and proved my online buy (from Bestbuy) .. Netgear's site outlines a 90-day replacement warranty and 1-year limited warranty .. endured a talking down to by a Netgear tech rep over the phone (have you rebooted, do you have power, is your simm properly connected, etc.) .. the end of this story is Netgear REFUSED to honor the 90 replacement warranty, insisting that it's a Bestbuy problem (Bestbuy has a 15-day replacement warranty) .. now using my dual simm phone to get buy and waiting for Brand X wireless modem/router replacement from Amazon .. I have bought many routers over the decades and will buy many more I'm sure, but I will NEVER BUY NETGEAR EQUIPMENT AGAIN!
Looks pretty sweet if I could use it with AT&T. My current home internet is satellite and I pay $85/m for 7 down 4 up. So so awful since I was paying $69/m for 1gig. My Verizon phone doesn’t even work in this area but I believe AT&T does

We are looking for a mobile solution while travelling through Canada, US and a 5 month stay in Mexico. So it sounds like all I have to do is change SIM cards for different providers in that particular country, is that correct?
The problem that I have with my Netgear m1 router hotspot is it while charging sometimes it will display not charging because the device is overheating. I bought a USB fan to fix this problem. I wish I could take the battery out and let it run directly from a wall outlet. However that is not an option for this device.
Yesterday, I got a Coolpad Surf from Boost. My old hotspot had died. But OMG this thing is a total piece of crap! It connects to email services and youtube but that's IT. No bank, no search engines, it won't connect to Amazon, for god's sake! I live in the heart of New York City!

Hello! I have a question. I'm planning on buying the nighthawk but I'm unsure of what plan or exactly how to set the device/SIM up. I see you said AT&T 5G plan, but I'm unable to find which one, as well as if you're throttled, what is your speed? Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience
Why doesn't anybody talk about the 2 TS9 antenna connection ports on the front? The 2 black things on either side of the front are not just cosmetic plugs!
Hey, I have DSL where I live, I can’t get fiber or anything better, it absolutely sucks. Buying the nighthawk m1 with my unlimited AT&T data plan and using it on my gaming console (ps4) WITH a LAN cable plugged straight for the nighthawk into my console will give me a good connection little to no lag with a good download speed?
Thinking about getting one to replace my Huawei B890-66. It only gets half the speed my phone does, with the same sim! I can get 80 Mbps on Band 66 on my phone with 4x4 mimo and its cat7 modem vs 36 Mbps on my B890 and it's 2x2 mimo and Cat3 modem on band 4. I should get faster speed with CA on the Nighthawk since there is band 12 too.
If you would do a range test, it would be good, as I've heard it gives boost, and when you are in the desert, my phone has no range so this is why I consider M1
can you use this with cricket wireless? Also i have the m1 nighthawk as well but it looks different mine looks more blue on screen while yours looks purple and yellow is that a newer version??
I have no signals at my house and a max of 7 mbps speed. I have a T-Mobile unlimited plan but again, no signals at my house. Will this really just bring my speeds up to 20 mbps?? Please respond thank you.
Maybe.. Meaning...it gets good reception on its own if you are within T-Mobile service area...Also..given it has Dual Mimo TS9 antenna connectors..you therefor can hook up an exturnal powerful directional diversity mimo antenna that can Greatly enhance reception
I won't try one until they come out with a version specifically set up to work on Verizon. The fact that they haven't tells me it isn't as easy as changing a few settings in the setup menu.
$60 a month? I pay $5 a month with Verizon and get 50 gb a month before it throttles down. And it doesnt really throttle down. It stays above 20 mbs when its throttled.
When u say that many devices can be connected to it, do you mean via wi fi or physical cable? Could I connect, for example, three Window PCs via ethernet cables to this router?
Thank you very much for the video. I have a problem with this router. Mobile broadband disconnected. The light on the corner flashes red. What can cause this? I have att SIM card.
I got one and it worked for one month. Then At&T, and Cricket blocked it. It does zero now. Not even throttled. The same sim card works in my phone without buffering any videos on my phone.
Did you ever get a response back here regarding your question (does it work in northern Canada)? ... I just put up a long post but not sure anyone will respond and I'm getting really desperate.
@@theroadrunnerc.9040 No. But I think I've figured out myself. This unit requires a signal tower, if there is no signal tower around, they should not be working. This is not a satellite thing.
- Is this only 3G & 4G? I have unlimited 2G with 1Gb of 4G. Would I lose service when it switches to 2G? - I only need this for occasional, temporary use. Could I just pull the SIM card from my phone or do I need a separate card/plan?
Really great question. I saw someone wrote that they just bought an additional unlimited phone line but used that Sim card for this device. I wish there was more information about this method.
What!? you got the one that have a purple screen... Mine have a blue screen.. what's the difference? I also bought the Tesla Australia Netgear Nighthawk M1 mobile router that have a purple screen with a T logo on the bottom of the led screen. So is that the newer version? I heard there a newer Netgear Nighthawk M2 that is using 5G.
now you can get cheaper plans for $35 a month unlimited unthrottled hotspot, and just add a yagi antenna to get a better reception from your nearest cell tower.
Question: Can we plug in vpn data for companies such as NordVPN? That would be really cool. I know corporate companies would love to have that option. They could give their employees secure wifi lans and feel comfortable with them connecting multiple devices to it that are used for work related activities. Be a lot less chance of mixing networks or exposure to bad actors...
I live out in a rural area and I have Cricket Wireless and dont have many option for internet don't want to sign a contract so if it's unlocked but you're saying I should be able to use it with my provider?
$220 is out of stock (been that way for months according to other comments). I can't find one for under $349 (Best Buy). I just bought from NEATGEAR.com $371 total (M1 is a few years old). I heard the M2 is avail but I can't find one in the US. Seems like a price gouge to go with the RV boom.

Hi, I am just wondering if the number of device showed are always correct. I should have only 2 connected but the routers shows 4 at times 5
$60 a month? I pay $5 a month with Verizon and get 50 gb a month before it throttles down. And it doesnt really throttle down. It stays above 20 mbs when its throttled.
I just read into wireless buy on their website and they state that there IS THROTTLING after an estimated 50gigs of use...
Traaaaaashhhh
Once we insert the sim card and set this up, do we need to contact Tmobile?
Can you connect a wired device and use the wifi for other devices at the same time?
When u say that many devices can be connected to it, do you mean via wi fi or physical cable? Could I connect, for example, three Window PCs via ethernet cables to this router?
I wonder how you change IP address of your hotspot?
Thank you very much for the video. I have a problem with this router. Mobile broadband disconnected. The light on the corner flashes red. What can cause this? I have att SIM card.
Does this work on a AT&T band? I was told only the one with the blue screen works on AT&T
Does this router supports IPv6? I cant game on my current hotspot since it doesnt support IPv6
I got one and it worked for one month. Then At&T, and Cricket blocked it. It does zero now. Not even throttled. The same sim card works in my phone without buffering any videos on my phone.
Hello there, could I travel to any country in the world with it?
would this have faster and better connection than a default hotspot on a phone?
would it?
Can you link the SIM card you bought? Is it pre-paid?
What VPN protocols does the device support? There seems to be no information at all regarding that anywhere.. even less on the official website.
Are you able to use cricket?
Little confused. I don't have internet or cable but I would to stream. Would this device work for me?
Does this work in extremely remote areas? Such as northern Canada, close to the arctic without human developments.
Did you ever get a response back here regarding your question (does it work in northern Canada)? ... I just put up a long post but not sure anyone will respond and I'm getting really desperate.
@@theroadrunnerc.9040 No. But I think I've figured out myself. This unit requires a signal tower, if there is no signal tower around, they should not be working. This is not a satellite thing.
- Is this only 3G & 4G? I have unlimited 2G with 1Gb of 4G. Would I lose service when it switches to 2G?
- I only need this for occasional, temporary use. Could I just pull the SIM card from my phone or do I need a separate card/plan?
Really great question. I saw someone wrote that they just bought an additional unlimited phone line but used that Sim card for this device. I wish there was more information about this method.
How do you open up the back to insert the SIM card? Help!!
What!? you got the one that have a purple screen... Mine have a blue screen.. what's the difference? I also bought the Tesla Australia Netgear Nighthawk M1 mobile router that have a purple screen with a T logo on the bottom of the led screen. So is that the newer version? I heard there a newer Netgear Nighthawk M2 that is using 5G.
So you need the phone sim to provide the network?
36 months ago 😮
this really surprises me...
Can I take this anywhere I want? I need a hotspot while traveling cross states.
now you can get cheaper plans for $35 a month unlimited unthrottled hotspot, and just add a yagi antenna to get a better reception from your nearest cell tower.
Question: Can we plug in vpn data for companies such as NordVPN? That would be really cool. I know corporate companies would love to have that option. They could give their employees secure wifi lans and feel comfortable with them connecting multiple devices to it that are used for work related activities. Be a lot less chance of mixing networks or exposure to bad actors...
Does it come with the T-mobile card or I gotta buy that separate?
Can I put a standard att Elite plan or Verizon get more plan sim card into this? Can I use those plans for unlimited data?
I live out in a rural area and I have Cricket Wireless and dont have many option for internet don't want to sign a contract so if it's unlocked but you're saying I should be able to use it with my provider?
Can you use a cricket wireless sim card? Or is it just for T-Mobile?
sir is this net gear,,is openline on all kinds of network sim card?
Does this one work with a straight talk sim?
Hey the only internet I can get is 10 mbps. Do you think this will be faster?
$220 is out of stock (been that way for months according to other comments). I can't find one for under $349 (Best Buy). I just bought from NEATGEAR.com $371 total (M1 is a few years old). I heard the M2 is avail but I can't find one in the US. Seems like a price gouge to go with the RV boom.
What about latency (ping) and packet losses, late packets?
