I think this M1 is better than the M2 which I also have as the M1 doesn’t have the annoying touch screen which makes the device difficult to shut down and save battery.
It works (in my caravan very well) but is expensive as it doesn’t give me a better boost to my exisisting internet connection (at home) which is very poor.
The battery was a different issue, I removed the memory card which I suspect drained the battery, this improved the life but it still the battery got HOT HOT HOT.
So I now leave it sat on the screen and the battery in the air. No more issues, no more the device telling me it needs a cooling period as it got a bit hot (yes this did happen) when on charge and in use. Works as one would expect.
I bought this for the aerial connection as I knew I would have reception issues and got lucky on the second attempt at ordering an aerial.
Should have mentioned I required adapter leads for the aerial. Search for: EWC533-1GE
Hope this helps others in the same predicame
Got this for my Motorhome,worked really well all over France Spain and Portugal.not as good around rural Ireland
This router, when plugged into the booster on my van roof seems to be much more reliable than my old Huawei mifi router. I do recommend it.
However I’m not sure I would recommend ordering this item through Amazon, as initially they sent me the wrong item (or maybe it was stolen/replaced by someone before it got to me?) and I am being kept waiting for my 300 refund while they ‘investigate’. Next time I won’t order via such an expensive item through them. Very frustrating.
Works perfectly. Like others I have read in these reviews I had problems connecting to the internet via ethernet but was able to overcome this by connecting to the mains via the supplied power supply.
(It is a bit like shopping for water containers with a tap. There is a lot of negative feedback from those, with complaints of ” the tap is useless”which you should read: they didn’t loosen the lid to allow air in. User error, or faulty item ?
But, I ‘m delighted to say, I have a 3 x improvement, both in Upload and Downloud, using the same SIM card, same static location, than I had before. And I have done about 30 tests, at different times, before and after.
I bought this from Amazon direct, but from Warehouse, used like new. ( it was like new, still sealed).
Although it seems a huge outlay, if it is important to you in getting connected with better results , I suggest Buy one! ( you can always return it if it doesn’t live up to your expectations! That’s Amazon, a great return policy.
I will add, remember to set up your SIM card to get that communicating with the router. You will find that in the software, under Advanced Setting, Cellular. Click Add. Then you need the info of your SIM provider, APN etc it may be already on your phone if you look hard enough, and just add it to the list.
Highly recommended from me!
The battery lasts about 8 hours, but you can run it with the battery removed, as long as you have a 12v power supply.
And I will add; I wasn’t paid to say this, and the item I paid full price for.
After getting the settings right, this little box gave us a 4g signal in an area where we had previously had none at all.
Charge time seems fine at around 2 hrs for full charge and around 8 hrs data time, depending on network access and numbrr of devices connected. A pont to note is that from time to time you do check uour connection as for some odd reason it does disconnect for no reason. Other wise its a neat bit of kit that does work and connects – but do your homework on best network(s) will work for your area.
Fantastic Product, easy to set up at home with no issues, Netgear product data sheets really useful and once connected streamed a live football match with no loss of picture, no delays and no issues. Highly recommended.
Battery if you do not use it with 1 or 2 bar signal too much will last 24 hours.
If you are in a zone with poor signal that time can half.
I managed to get 60mbps speeds on EE in city areas and 2-10mbps on areas with 1 bar signal.
The modem has many useful features but is not perfect.
I own few other models and this one seems to perform best from 4G+ portable class.
Plugged in EE simcard, set-up took about 3 minutes and it is up and flying. On average 4 bars gives us 50 mbps on Wednesday afternoon (I guess this is when network got throttled at its hardest), so will let it play for week or two and see how it is, if not – I will add external antennas, not a big deal.
Solid unit, easy to setup, plenty of settings inside and nice design.
Update after 2 weeks of use.
I went for external antenna, – getting ~120 mbps depending on weather. Because we use it to connect around 10 devices it was overheating a bit, so after quick Google for solution we took the battery out and sorted more powerful power source for it. End of the story, it does the job behind the computer screen and never been seen again, uptime 1 week and counting.
Increase speed on mobile from 1.6 to 20mb in pretty poor signal area connected to external aerial and more in good signal area, i have had 60mb without aerial IE portable and do believe more to be had. can be Little tricky to set up but anyone could do it and once set up very simple you just connect as with any other WI-FI connection. Even has Ethernet connection. Portable as well and can plug in without using battery which is handy. Overall would recommend this product. Only downside it is a little pricey for what it is and haven’t rated tech support as not used as ye
Firstly, Build quality and feel in the hand are very good. The M1 is a nice looking piece of equipment.
Secondly, Ease of set up is very good. The manual is adequate and the steps can be followed with relative ease.
Thirdly and most importantly, Performance. Early days to have any real information on this aspect of the router really. I am running my the router with an O2 Data Only sim supplied by “Govivo” (Excellent Service) and with a Poynting Antenna, I had good results in a previously very intermittent data download area.
In summary, nice quality, so far good performance But quite a high price tag (260) when you compare with some other routers on the market bearing in mind it is a 4G only route
This is one honest review from a guy who travels a lot and always ends up in the worst dead spots with work ARMY ! . I needed to put an end to no signal with any smart phone, after watching several videos online I began to notice a pattern with the devices people chose, and they all recommended The Netgear Nighthawk M1. So I went ahead and purchased one just last week. I was sceptical as I couldn’t even get 4G on my phone without going outside 20- 30 meters or so , and then it was intermittent. So it arrived and I plugged it in and downloaded the Netgear app and followed the instructions and booooooom I got 4G in my room ! Then it sed 4G+ ? I did a quick speed test on my phone and it was far better than my broadband at home !!!!!! I know this is a bit of a read but hopefully Iv helped someone with there issues of no signal dead spot, I have taken this home and tested it against my internet provider which was around 65MBS NETGEAR – 100MBS !! I have now cancelled my broadband ! Thank you Netgear I don’t know how you don it but your devices are epic and I could talk to my family and steam movies in a dead spot for over 3 months deployment!!!!
This unit, in conjunction with a Poynting 4G-XPOL-A0002 directional antenna is making the most of the two bar signal from the nearest mast on the EE network. Typical download speed is 70 mbs but I’ve seen 123 recently! Upload is consistent at about 10mbs. My work colleagues in different cities/towns in the UK can’t believe it when I screenshare the results of a speedtest (and neither can I).
Like some other reviewers it did seem to take a lot more fiddling (and frustration) to setup than I’d expect. It really ought to just be a case of popping in the SIM and away you go, but for some reason it wasn’t straightforward. My top tip, if you’ve just got yourself a new SIM is to put it in your phone and do the initial activation & top up there FIRST to ensure the SIM is fully working. Only once you’re 100% sure that the SIM is working should you then proceed to use that SIM in this device. It’s only a hunch but I think that may have been the cause of some of my initial setup trauma.
The unit itself feels really solid & well made. Being battery powered means it will keep working for a number of hours (I think the claim is 7?) without mains power- handy if used at home with possible power cuts. The app that comes with it (or the website used for config) has all of the features you’d expect.
I use the unit as effectively our full time home router and have it plugged into the mains at all times, without the battery in place. (The battery is fully charged and just left to one side in case of power cuts – pop it in and within a couple of minutes the router is back up again). Batteries are not meant to have power flowing through them constantly and some users have reported the battery getting too hot (causing the device to shut down) and even becoming misshapen/leaking under prolonged constant charging. So if you’re planning on leaving it on all the time, I’d strongly suggest leaving out the battery.
It’s important to realise that the supplied USB charger does NOT provide sufficient power to charge the unit if it is also under heavy active use at the same time. This can lead to the device powering off randomly and I suspect is the cause of some of the dissatisfaction from some users. Simply purchase a decent charger (for about 15) to solve that problem. I bought a “Quick Charge 3.0, Anker 18W 3Amp USB Wall Charger (Quick Charge 2.0 Compatible) Powerport+ 1” device from Amazon.
So, ensure you use a SIM that’s already setup, buy a decent charger, and don’t leave the battery in (if you’re leaving it on constantly as a home router) and my experience has been that it’s a cracking little device and worth the extra money over cheaper devices.
I found it very easy to set up and get it running. The software upgrade was very simple to do. VERY impressed with the speeds achieved and with its connectivity. At the moment I use it in the car, but when allowed I hope to use it for holidays both here and abroad. No complaints about the functionality of the unit.
There are two annoying things that take a star off.
The first is the battery capacity. I find that with just my phone connected I can only get about 6 hours before it needs charging. I feel that for a supposedly high end bit of kit, and being advertised as lasting all day, this is not acceptable.
The other thing is charging. Using the supplied cable and charger it never achieves full charge when operating. If I turn it off and charge the battery I do get a full charge, but sometimes it switches itself on and Doesn’t fully charge. Also the battery gets very warm.
In conclusion, the MR1100 is a really nice unit sadly let down by battery issues. If those were fixed five stars across the board.
Update: I got 2.5-meter mast for antenna and signal level and speed improved. So I got now 90 – 320Mbps with (3-4 bars Fair or Good signal levels). The web interface on modem provides numeric value/signal level, that you can use to adjust / point antenna close to cell direction. I got an omnidirectional antenna, and my cell not very close to the house and I don’t get a direct view to it. With the directional antenna, you can get better results (not tested, but I believe so). Used it in daily camping outside the city. Kind of nice experience to take the internet with you. Very happy with the purchase.
