Hi Ally.
I might just clarify a few things with you here.
Is the SIM you are attempting to use in the Nighthawk a Pre-Paid Broadband SIM? A mobile phone SIM may not work in this device.
To connect using the Netgear Mobile app or http://m.home, you would need to be connected to the network which would be broadcast by the Nighthawk. Are you able to successfully connect to this network?
Alternatively, you could connect a computer via ethernet to the Nighthawk, and this should allow the same access.
Please let me know if this information helps.

This annoying to watch YouTube clip may provide a clue - no audio and very fast change of screens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbfJk37eVqc.
Assuming it is the Netgear Mobile App connecting to an M1 where the presenter shows how the speed capability can be enhanced. The presenter gets an error when initially connecting that says "Incorrect Wi-Fi Mobile Router (DUNIA-KU-5G). Sorry this Router Mobile Router is not supported by the Netgear Mobile App" - is this what you are seeing?
By selecting the blue text below the error which is "Change WiFi Settings" this connects the user to iPhone Settings for connection to the M1 Wi-Fi Network. Then the presenter is challenged with the M1 Admin and Password screen and viola - they are in.
I can't imagine Netgear not covering the M1 and M2 in their Mobile Apps as they appear to be popular.
Ally1290 - very unexpected. On the M1, after you turn it on - do you see it's Wi-Fi SSID and Password in the M1 circular panel display by you pressing the power button to toggle through the display till you see this information per the user guide - it is suppose to show there. And if so, is it different to the information you are seeing on the back or inside the M1. I assume both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands would share the same SSIDs and Passwords but they may also be different. Not sure how Android operates - if you need to forget previous Wi-Fi networks before selecting the M1 Wi-Fi. Hope the mystery is eventually solved .
Hi ally1290 - If you have Factory Reset the M1 but the pressing the Reset button inside the M1, I would expect it to default to 2.4 and 5. GHZ Dual Band; other settings are 2.4 Ghz only, 5 Ghz only or Wi-Fi OFF. If you are able to enter a SSID and password on your Android or Tablet, that implies the M1 SSID invitation is being broadcast. If you get an error that says it is incorrect, make sure your entries exactly match the ones on the M1 display; Example Only - SSID TPPW4G_A7E4 and Password 20143281 where the character between the G and A is an underscore, not a hyphen and no spaces before or after the any of the characters.
If that does not work and you have a PC with either a USB or LAN cable and are able to connect directly to the M1, open a web browser and enter its IP address or name; 192.168.1.1 or the web http://m.home. Log in via Administrator Password, admin. You should be able to go to Wi-Fi settings to verify all Settings information - both the Web View and the Netgear Mobile App view should match the SSID and Password on your M1 Display and inside Sticker. If they match what you have been inputting, can you try powering down your Android Phone, removing the Battery, wait 30 seconds,refit battery, power up Android again. If your Android is Auto Connecting you to the M1 unsuccessfully to the previously save SSID, can you Remove the M1 Network from Wi-Fi Settings or Forget It. Then try creating up a fresh M1 Wi-Fi Profile in the Android by entering the SSID and Password in manually.
If unsuccessful, I think you may have to contact Telstra and ask them if there is a technical problem with your M1.
