NETGEAR Nighthawk M7 Pro - Fixed Setup; Set up Plugged-In Mode for Fixed Usage

•
Charge the device fully: We recommend that you charge the mobile hotspot fully
before using it for the first time, and that you let the device recharge fully before
using it again when you discharge the battery. This helps to maintain the battery's
lifespan and overall performance.
•
Avoid overcharging: Overcharging the device can damage the battery and shorten
its lifespan. When the device is fully charged, unplug it from the power source. Don't
leave it plugged in overnight or for long periods of time. Remove the battery and
use Plugged-In Mode if you are using the device in a fixed location.
•
Charge in a well-ventilated area: Charging your mobile hotspot in a well-ventilated
area can prevent overheating and ensures that the device charges efficiently. Avoid
charging the device in an enclosed space or in direct sunlight.
By following these best practices, you can ensure that your mobile hotspot stays charged
and performs optimally for years to come.
Fixed setup
Depending on your needs, you might want to use your mobile hotspot in a fixed location
as a replacement for a conventional modem or a modem router/gateway. You can set
up your hotspot for fixed use either by itself, or connected to a conventional WiFi router
with the included Ethernet port.
NOTE: Attempting to use Plugged-In Mode with low quality third-party USB
power adapters or cables might cause your hotspot to malfunction. For more
information, see Third-party power adapters and USB cables on page 82.
Set up Plugged-In Mode for fixed usage
Removing your Nighthawk M7's battery and plugging it into wall power enables
Plugged-In Mode, which boosts performance, improves WiFi coverage, and enables
6 GHz WiFi.
NOTE: 6 GHz WiFi is restricted to indoor use only. You can only use the 6 GHz
band by connecting your mobile hotspot to the power adapter and enabling 6
GHz WiFi from the device or web user interface. For more information, see
Change WiFi bands or enable dual-band WiFi on page 37.
