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.

Yes, T-mobile has blocked these devices by their IMEI #s. I would like to hear an official reason as to why they're doing this. My hope is that they will expand coverage for their home ISP through 4Glte.
Same thing happened to me with my Netgear Nighthawk M1. I have a feeling I know who your provider is and they're complete garbage when it comes to customer support.
I have used a NightHawk MR1100 for 5 years now on T Mobile and pay for Unlimited HotSpot on the military one plan with no issues. I get speeds up to 100 Mbs at times.
Thanks, you just answered my question. I have the regular Tmobile home internet which sucks big time so I went out and bought the new netgear nighthawk M5 mobile router. I tried using the sim from the Tmobile internet Gateway router but it doesn't work on the nighthawk. Now I guess I'll have to purchase an Hotspot Plan from Tmobile to make it work otherwise, I'll have ro return this $700 router back to netgear.
