As someone who works for a telco that sells these, the return rate due to power issues and alarmingly swollen batteries is utterly astronomical (perhaps because they are left plugged in for a lot of their life - it's nonetheless dangerous). I would heavily recommend against purchasing one for anything other than occasional use.

maybe you should have told your customers that this device works without battery. yes, if you use it as a stationary device, you can just remove the battery and power it through the usb-c port. duh.

I've not played around with my Netgear Nighthawk M1 router much yet, but I have tried out the data offload. What I found in order to get it to work, I had to change the IP address, even though there was no conflict with 192.168.1.1 on my network. I set the gateway address to 172.172.172.1 since that's least likely in my experience to run into a conflict out of the standard internal IP address spaces. I had to create a static route on my synology router, and disable DHCP on the Nighthawk. It seems like there's potentially several things that would have to be done in order to make this work consistently if you're using it for data off load such as at hotels to get around the 3 computer limit on some hotels wifi per room.

Any recommendations for a standard configuration that worked during your tests in hotels?

The Nighthawk M1 is a little more expensive and larger than other mobile hotspots, but it offers a lot for the money. The device is simple to set-up, has fast LTE connectivity, numerous ports and can connect to up to 20 devices. Read on to find out how the Nighthawk M1 performs in our tests.
