Netgear Nighthawk M1 (MR1100-100NAS) blocked by TMobile?
I have an unlocked Netgear Nighthawk M1 Router I got from Amazon, new. I subscribed to two unlimited data plans, for my two locations of work, one with static IP and the other without. My n...
I couldn't find anything that says we block the Netgear Nighthawk M1 or any other mobile hotspot from working on the T-Mobile network. Of course, the normal Bring your own device (BYOD) disclaimer applies; we can't guarantee we can get all devices working, but we definitely want to try our best.
The biggest question I have is what rate plans do you have? They need to be Mobile Hotspot plans to work in a Mobile Hotspot device. If they're plans designed for phones, they won't work.
I bought an unlocked Netgear Nighthawk M1 gigabit NAS mobile router. Call T-Mobile have them update the IMEI to the account and now I'm getting an MM#6, why? So like any rational individual I decided to remove the T-Mobile SIM card and place a different carrier SIM card in the device in this case, Verizon, process of elimination, and what do you know, the device comes up working with all five bars LTE and all. So T-Mobile why is this device being blocked? Now I'm going to have to go to the T-Mobile store reluctantly get one of T-Mobile's substandard overly priced Broadband devices for over $300 when I have my own device that is perfectly capable of working on any GSM/CDMA network unimpeded. After 15 years I think it's time for me to take my business elsewhere. This is why I don't like mergers.
