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 non-static IP service was originally attached to this router, but a couple of months ago it quit working. By not working I mean the signal is fair to excellent, but it says "mobile broadband disconnected". Essentially not able to get an external IP address.So as part of troubleshooting, I swapped sim between this router and another and swapped APN config, and both worked. And them I swapped back, and this router (Netgear M1) wasn't working again. That's when I knew Tmo blocked this router for fast.tmobile.com APN.So I had to use the static IP sim in this Netgear M1 Router.Now, my static IP sim (b2b.static APN) won't work anymore either, and my subscription line support tells me that the sim is active and working.So my question is:. Did Tmo block Netgear Nighthawk M1 (MR1100-100NAS) from the network c

why is my hotspot so slow

I called support about my bill being so high a few weeks ago and the rep that help me removed a few things I didn't need, and now my hotspot is so slow it takes forever to load a page on my laptop. I have tried tethering it to see if it is faster but its just as slow. I have tried all the help steps on the help page still nothing. I logged in on my friends boost hotspot and everything loaded instantly. I have tried calling t-mobile support but it just keeps telling me my number can not be found in the system so i cant even speak to anyone. This is just one issues I am having.

CellSpot not working!

I have a brand new 4GLTE CellSpot and its not working. The power light is flashing green and the internet light is flashing orange. I have plugged the yellow Ethernet cord into the yellow WAN port and it is plugged into my Ethernet modem. I have contacted my ISP and they have opened up UDP ports 123, 500 and 4500 and they have placed the CellSpot into the DMZ. What am i doing wrong?

1.1.1.1 DNS Service

I like using the Cloudflare's new public DNS resolver 1.1.1.1 because it makes DNS queries faster and more secure, but when my MacBook Pro (macOS Sierra 10.12.6) DNS settings are set to 1.1.1.1 && 1.0.0.1 && 2606:4700:4700::1111 && 2606:4700:4700::1001 my iPhone Personal Hotspot doesn't work. Can you please tell me how to fix this issue or work with your engineers to fix whatever issue is preventing my ability to use the DNS provider of my choosing on your end? Thanks!

Setting up 4G LTE Cellspot

Hi, I was just sent a 4g LTE cellspot from T-Mobile to help with the low cell signal that I have in my home. It seems pretty easy to set up, however, when I went to my modem (which I have via Spectrum), I saw that there was only one ethernet port and this was taken up with my router. Now, on my router there are a number of ethernet ports that are designated as "LAN" ports, but there is only one yellow "WAN" port. Can I plug the Cellspot into one of the LAN ethernet ports on my router, or do I need to buy an ethernet switch or something so that I can more or less multiply the number of WAN ports on my modem? I am completely new to this so any advice will be most appreciated. Thanks!

SyncUp & Drive kills batteries/alternator

I recently added the SyncUP & Drive device to my account - we are long-time T-Mobile customers and have not had any problems whatsoever besides this to date. My son was getting his license and I wanted to be able to monitor his driving. The SyncUP device worked like a charm for the first week or two, until the battery started dying nearly every night. This battery had been replaced less than 6 months prior, so there should not have been an issue. I was going on a trip, so I decided to let him drive my SUV while I was out of town since he was having problems with the battery and I wanted him in a more reliable vehicle. I also have a new battery in my vehicle, about one year old and also had my alternator replaced between 2-3 years ago. Well, when I was on my trip my battery started dying and then after a couple of days my son had the vehicle completely stall on him while driving. This device not only killed my battery, but my alternator! Fortunately, the batteries were both still un

SyncUp Drive not working

I bought a SyncUp drive from Tmobile and tried to connect it with my car. But it did not work. I literally tried everything so I just thought it was defective. So I exchanged with a new one. I tried the new one out, plugged it to my car, and still did not connect with my car. The app says “unplugged“ and when I try to connect to the hotspot, it takes me to the website that says “Get Started” but it greys out and says error, “can’t open page”. This is literally the only product from Tmobile that I’m really disappointed. I already talked to many people from support and were no help. I wasted 150 dollars for nothing then. And yes my car is compatible. The only thing that works on this drive is the GPS

No home internet when using 4G LTE Cellspot which connects to the wifi modem

, i have the 4g lte cellspot and i connected it to my internet, when i connect my tablet to my wifi it says its offline. is it the cellspot eating up my signal? am not sure how cellspot works, but how can i use my wifi at home to watch nextflix from my tv or tablet and still have the 4g connected, without using hotspot from my phone to hotspot the tablet or tv, actually using my wifi prior to connectong the cellspot. Also i have to say i have a survelliance system that uses my home wifi, but its no longer working after i connected the 4g cellspot, can i just disconnect the cellspot cablet from the wifi ethernet port when i want to use the internet at home, or would that cause a problem, i ask because i kinda tried to, for a little bit, but *i was still offline when connected my wifi and my phone lagged when loading a page on its regular mobile data, got scared that ive messed it up, so i plugged the ethernet cable from 4g cellspot back into the wifi modem. Any help would be appreciate

Timex FamilyConnect having problems charging

Hello community, I would like to know if other people is having the same problem. My kid's watch Timex FamilyConnect is taken each day longer to be fully charged, I mean considerably. I have this one since four months ago and to have full charge from around 20%, it is taken like 10 -14 hours. And despite it is at 100% charged overnight, the charging led stay on red color and the watch is hot; sometimes with a message in the display about hot temperature. My feeling is that the battery is getting degradase quickly and I would like to know if other parents are facing the same issue?BRJaime

How do I activate my T-Mobile SIM cards using a Netgear LB1120 4G LTE Modem?

I bought three T-Mobile SIM Starter Kits to use in three Netgear LB1120 4G LTE modems. The instructions gave me two ways to activate:1. visit www.t-mobile.com/activation2. call 1-877-778-2019 from your device I can't do 2 because my device does not have the capability to dial out.These Netgear LB1120s do not have dial-out capability. So I tried www.t-mobile.com/activationI got routed to https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/prepaidNow I'm lost.It seems the web sites are always updating beyond what is printed on the instruction sheets. What's the best way to get these SIM cards activated on my three Netgear modems?Also, I will need to be assigned three new phone numbers to manage my T-Mobile Refill cards.The dial-in method works great with T-Mobile Refill cards provided I have phone numbers. Or could I grab an old unlocked GSM phone to do the activation with the T-Mobile app and then move the SIM cards over to the Netgear LB1120 cell modems?Would that work? Be easier to manage?

Sync Drive critical battery

I am an employee of T-mobile. I purchased the sync up drive for my own personal use. During the 2nd week, it kept telling me that my battery was low, and failing. A couple of days later I had to have my alternator replaced which cost me $450.00. Since my issue, i have come across other customers that have returned this device.One customer said she was getting the same battery failing message. Another customer returned her device after she too,had to get her alternator replaced. By no means am I saying the sync up drive is causing this. But I am suggesting that there may be a correlation between these battery issues and the sync up drive device. How do I look into this?

Cell Spot Config Issues

Here are the details. I have gone through every troubleshooting step on this device. The power light continues to flash green and he internet light flashes orange. Nothing else. I have rebooted all systems. I have verified the UDP ports are open. I have the IP address of the device in a DMZ. I have confirmed with my ISP the modem is on bridge mode and at the appropriate speeds. Looking for some specific technical assistance on where to go now, or perhaps this device is malfunctioning.
