Get to Know Your Mobile Router
Your mobile router lets you create a WiFi access point in any location with cellular
network coverage. Use a WiFi access point to connect your computer or mobile devices
to your service provider’s mobile broadband network and connect to the Internet.
Your mobile router can receive power from any of the following sources:
•
Rechargeable battery included with the mobile router
•
Wall socket using the AC adapter and USB cable
•
USB port on your computer
The Nighthawk M5 5G WiFi 6 Mobile Router can be operated without the battery when
it is plugged in to its original Quick charge power adapter. This feature is useful for fixed
wireless application where the device needs to be left on for a prolonged time
