Security credentials
Two passwords are associated with the Nighthawk M6:
•
WiFi password. Use this to connect your computer or WiFi device to your Nighthawk
M6 network. This character string is unique to your device. It displays on the home
screen. If the screen is blank (a power-saving feature), press and quickly release the
Power button. The default WiFi password is also printed on a label under the battery.
For information about changing WiFi passwords, see Change WiFi encryption settings
on page 34.
•
Web admin login password. Use this password to log in to the Nighthawk M6 web
page as an administrator. Some changes can be made using the LCD. You must log
in as an administrator to use certain features. The default login password is printed
on a label under the battery and can be 5–31 characters in length.
Connect to the Nighthawk M6 with tethering
You can connect a computer to the Nighthawk M6 using the USB-C cable instead of
connecting with WiFi. This kind of cable connection is called tethering.

use the USB-C cable to connect the computer to the Nighthawk M6.
To install drivers on computers running Windows:
1. Make sure the Nighthawk M6 is connected to the internet.
2.
Ensure that the Nighthawk M6 is powered off.
