Connect to the Mobile Router With Tethering

You can connect a computer to the mobile router using the USB-C cable instead of
connecting with WiFi. This kind of cable connection is called tethering.
Note: The computer's operating system detects the Nighthawk M5 5G WiFi 6 Mobile
Router the first time you use the USB-C cable to connect the computer to the mobile
router.
To install drivers on computers running Windows:
1. Ensure that the mobile router is powered off.
2. Connect the mobile router to your computer using the USB cable.
The mobile router automatically powers on.
Note: Make sure that your computer has access to Internet when you first use the
tethering feature because your computer might need to access the Internet in order
to download the required software driver.
After the driver is installed, you can visit the mobile router web page to customize
your mobile router's advanced settings. This is an optional step.

Customize the Mobile Router Settings

You can personalize the mobile router and change its settings on the web page.
To log in to your mobile router web page:
1. From a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the mobile router, launch a
web browser.
2. Enter http://192.168.1.1.
