I want to use a 60GB data sim in a Netgear Nighthawk M2 Router. Is this possible as Netgear is not listed as a manufacturer and can you use VPN as I want to log in and work using the router? I do not need to use calls and texts.
Thanks

The Netgear Nighthawk M2 is a 4G router and so it will work with on the iD Mobile network. You will need to configure the device with the correct APN settings as shown here:
As for using a VPN, this dependent on the device and not the network. So, as long as the Netgear Nighthawk M2 supports whatever VPN protocol you require then yes, you can use a VPN.
Thanks for that but the VPN question I believe is valid as I have had a Vodaphone sim and they do not allow VPN connections wheras O2 do and it worked fine with O2

I used Nord VPN with my Vodafone Pay Monthly SIM without issues.
thanks Welshpaul. I talked to vodaphone technical for 4 hours and they eventually said I had to buy a data only contract in order to use VPN. So I just wanted to check if there were any such limitations on ID

The only real difference between a Data SIM and phone SIM is that a Data SIM gets you a proper external IP address where as a phone SIM does not. Phone SIMS tend to use CGNAT which can be a problem for some. iD Mobile has a cooling off period and so if you do encounter any issues, you can cancel penalty free.
