Nighthawk M2 Model MR2100
Extend Battery Life
The mobile router, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. If your mobile router
is plugged in for an extended period of time, the mobile router automatically reduces
charging levels to help protect battery life.
The following factors affect battery life:
Standby time
•
Data throughput
•
Mobile broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life)
•
WiFi range
•
Dual-band WiFi (when all of your devices support 5 GHz WiFi, dual-band WiFi allows
•
faster downloads but uses more power)
Usage of a USB storage device
•
To extend the battery life, use any of the following methods:
Adjust WiFi settings.
•
Adjust display settings.
•
Remove the USB storage device.
•
Use the Mobile Router Without a Battery
If you connect your mobile router to a power adapter that supports Quick Charge 2.0
or 3.0, you can remove the battery. We recommend operating without the battery in
applications where the mobile router is used for extended periods, such as using the
mobile router as a fixed router.
Recharge the Battery
The battery comes partially charged. You can recharge the battery from a wall socket
or from the USB port on your computer. Recharging from a wall socket is faster than
recharging from a USB port.
Turn off USB tethering if you only want to charge your mobile router with your computer.
For more information, see Turn Off USB Tethering on page 45.
User Manual26Manage Battery Usage and
Charging
Nighthawk M2 Model MR2100
Quick Charge the Battery
The mobile router supports Quick Charge 2.0 technology. You can charge the mobile
router battery with a Quick Charge–certified power adapter, which charges the battery
up to 75 percent faster than regular power adapters by increasing the charging power.
The current rating on the Quick Charge–certified power adapter must be greater than
1.5A.
Recharge the Battery From a Wall Socket
To recharge the battery from a wall socket:
1.
Attach one end of the micro USB cable to the connector on the right on the mobile
router and attach the other end to the wall charger (included).
2. Plug the wall charger into a wall socket.
The Battery icon on the LCD indicates that the battery is charging.
Note: The battery continues to charge when the mobile router is powered off.
If your battery does not charge, check the following:
Is the mobile router hot? If you are in a low-coverage area, are transferring a lot
•
of data, or left the mobile router in a hot location, the internal temperature of the
mobile router can rise above 45°C. In these conditions, the battery cannot be
charged due to safety limits with lithium-ion battery technology.
Make sure that the USB cable and the AC wall charger are connected securely
•
and are working correctly.
If the wall socket is controlled by a switch, make sure that the switch is in the
•
power-on position.

Recharge the Battery From a Computer USB Port
To recharge the battery from the USB port on your computer:
Attach one end of the micro USB cable to the mobile router and plug the other end
into the USB port on your computer.
The Battery icon on the LCD indicates that the battery is charging.
Note: The LCD goes into sleep mode after a set time to extend battery life. To wake
up the LCD, tap the Power button.
Use the USB Type C Cable to Charge Only
You can log in to the mobile router and specify a setting so that the USB type C cable
is used only for charging and not to access the mobile router using a web browser. You
might want to do this if you are using the Ethernet port and a wall socket is not available
to charge the mobile router.
To specify a USB type C cable charge-only setting:
1. From a computer that is connected to your network, launch a web browser.
2.
Enter http://m.home or http://192.168.1.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

router with a web browser.
Use the Mobile Router to Jump Boost Another Device
If your smartphone or other device is low on or out of battery power, you can give it a
boost by connecting it to the mobile router’s USB port A connector.
