Re: Hotspotting.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Hi Ronni

Sorry for the late reply, I was phone less for two days, don’t ask. 
Yep,can’t always believe the packaging Ronni, but problem solved, I'm using the 
Samsung Phone with my iPhone Sim Card in it, working well, at least until I can 
resolve the problem with the Nighthawk. Now I just have to sort out Telstra via 
the Ombudsman.

Cheers Ronni as always

Kindest Regards

Tony

Hi Tony,

You originally said the “Entertainment Box (purchased from the UK, and is 
supposed to be Mac friendly) that I am having trouble with.”
Well it’s not really Apple Mac friendly if it’s Android...?

Good Morning fellow Wamugger’s

FYI

I now have the answer to my question in regards to my not being able to use my 
iPhone for Hotspotting with my Entertainment Box. Because the Entertainment Box 
is ANDROID friendly and will recognise the Samsung phone, the iPhone being ISO 
friendly isn’t recognised by the Entertainment Box.

Thanks Guy’s

Kind Regards

Re: Hotspotting.

Sorry Ronni,
There seems to be some confusion here, the Nighthawk M1, was fine whilst it was 
working properly. As it is no longer working I tried to hot spot with my 
iPhone, the Entertainment Box couldn’t find a Wireless signal from the iPhone. 
When our House guest used his SAMSUNG Phone there was no problem and we have 
been using it on a daily basis for up to 3 hours, he has unlimited data usage. 
When I took the SIM card out of my iPhone and put it into the SAMSUNG phone I 
could hotspot?? Trying the iPhone again,no joy, hence my question.

Thanks Ronni

Kindest Regards

Tony

Re: Hotspotting.

[Ronni Brown]

I think you mean a TelstraNetgear Nighthawk® M1

How do I set up my Netgear Nighthawk® M1?

To set up your Netgear Nighthawk M1 as a mobile broadband hotspot, you just 
need to install the micro SIM:

Re: Hotspotting.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Thank you Susan & Ronni

As I mentioned earlier I’m having “fun” with Telstra in relation to the 
Wireless Modum, Net Gear-Nighthawk, the Modum used 39 GB’s in about 5 hours 
watching T V Shows. On our House Guests Samsung Phone using “Hotspot’ for 2.5 
hours we used 1.4GB’s. A definite problem with the Wireless Modum.

The Entertainment Box will not recognise the iPhone whilst attempting to 
“hotspot”, so, I tried something different this morning, I put my iPhone's Sim 
Card into the Samsung and the phone was recognised and I was able to Hotspot, 
hence my query with using the iPhone.
I am actually ‘HotSpotting” with my iPhone through the Computer to write to 
you. Never a problem connecting to our other Apple products,Computer, Lap Top, 
iPad(s) or iPhones, it is just the Entertainment Box (purchased from the UK, 
and is supposed to be Mac friendly) that I am having trouble with.

I haven’t had a great loss of data with using the Modum Ronni, before the 
trouble started, (an on going battle with Telstra), Lynette and I watched two 
Movies last week for a total of 1.37 GB’s out of 80 GB’s. Our iPhones have a 
total of 30 GB’s each and hot spotting with our iPhones through our devices is 
good, we find it hard to use the combined 60 GB’s before the end of the billing 
cycle.

So I’ll go to "Entertainment Box” help and see if they have any suggestions for 
me. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Thanks again both

Tony

Boddington.

Re: Hotspotting.

[Ronni Brown]

Also Tony,

As Susan has mentioned your iPhone will hotspot, but it will cost you a small 
fortune in data charges.
 
As far as reception goes, that will depend on the area you are in. If you are 
in a 4G reception area, it will defintiely run things like Netflix. In a 3G 
area, it will still run, but not as good a picture. 
The faster the data can flow the higher quality picture you get (also the more 
data you will use).

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Tony, presumably you set up your iPhone’s hot spot. The iPhone hotspot has a 
password for logging in. Did you enter the password when logging into the 
IPhone’s wireless network from your Entertainment Box. Anything can log onto
