AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1)
Signal Improvement Solutions (Cellular) |
AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1) includes 2 antenna ports to attach external cellular antennas. See below for different options for high gain and high performance indoor and outdoor antennas to improve the signal strength and indoor coverage. Additionally, see below for RF bidirectional amplifiers/ distributed antenna systems/ repeaters/ small cells to further improve indoor coverage without directly attaching pigtail/ cable the device. |
Pigtail for External Cellular Antenna |
PIGMR1100 (NOTE: Need this pigtail to connect this device to antenna cable. It is included in preconfigured kits.) |
Pre-Configured Outdoor Cellular Antenna Kits | |||||||||||||||||||||
See below for the most popular LTE antenna kits to boost the signal of your AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1). These kits include cables, lightning protection, and all required pigtails/ adapters. If none of these pre-configured kits works for you, see below for customized solutions.

Cellular Repeaters/ Bi-Directional Amplifiers |
Because the AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1) device has an external antenna port you could use the high gain external antenna kits above to boost your signal. However, if your outdoor signal is very weak, or you require a very long cable run to get from the outdoor antenna to the device (long runs lead to large signal loss) consider using an RF bidirectional amplifier/ repeater suitable for the supported bands and cellular operator to boost your indoor coverage: LTE Antenna Boosters/ RF Bidirectional Amplifiers/ Repeaters/ Relays |
Customize your solution |
STEP 1: Determine what frequency bands your operator uses here, then click on the frequency band link to view the best ranked cellular antennas compatible with the frequency band that both your device and your cellular operator supports. Your AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1) operates on these frequency bands: LTE Band 1, LTE Band 12, LTE Band 14, LTE Band 2, LTE Band 29, LTE Band 3, LTE Band 30, LTE Band 4, LTE Band 5, LTE Band 66, LTE Band 7.
STEP 2: Determine the cable length you need from the outdoor antenna to the AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1) and configure your length here (select N-Male on both ends)
STEP 3: Determine if you need a lightning protection device. If you do, you will need a jumper cable.
STEP 4: Order the pigtail for your modem below: PIGMR1100 (NOTE: Need this pigtail to connect this device to antenna cable. It is included in preconfigured kits.)
STEP 5: If the pigtail's Connector 2 is FME-F you will need an N-Female/FME-F adapter to mate to the N-Male cable in step 2. Alternatively, select an N-Male/FME-M cable in step 2 above (more expensive and less re-usable) to avoid requiring this adapter.

Signal Improvement Solutions (Wi-Fi) |
AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1) is not listed as having an external Wi-Fi antenna port in the RFWEL Wireless Device Information Database. This may be either because the device really does not have an external antenna port or RFWEL Wireless Device Specialists have not confirmed the existence and utility of such ports. Please contact us for the latest updates or if you believe this device contains external antenna ports and you would like to learn more about compatible signal improvement solutions. |
WiFi Repeaters/ Extenders/ Relays |
Because the AT&T Nighthawk Hotspot (Netgear ATLAS M1) is not listed as having an external antenna port, you would need to use a wireless network extender or repeater to increase the WiFi signal coverage |

What is the best antenna for this?
Mar 21, 2020, 18:35The 12 dBi Yagi antenna kit is the most popular and works well for most folks (includes our wideband Yagi RFWY072712D with high directional gain and relatively low profile and wind loading excellent for outdoor roof mounting)

What is the range of this device?
Jan 2, 2018, 12:27It is very difficult to accurately predict the WiFi range because it is highly dependent on the environment where the device is used (e.g., number of obstructions, number of interferers such as other devices using the unlicensed Wifi bands, etc). That said, a useful indoor range of around 10-15 meters (~33ft to 50ft) is reasonable, more if you have a direct line of sight to the MiFi. You can still connect further away but your speed drops. Theoretical range for 802.11b/g is around 100m (330ft) outdoors and half that indoors; 802.11n roughly doubles this range.
