Easy setup and operation, reliable
on June 1, 2024

Purchased for use while travelling. Used on multiple wireless carriers, strictly on pay as you go plans. Set up with the carrier(s) of choice and simply switching the sim cards out as needed. Some locations require the use of a cellular booster, but that is location specific, not endemic to the device. Wifi signal is adequate for use inside and within a hundred feet or so of our RV. Battery life seems adequate and as advertised, so far. We can easily charge the device or run it without the battery while using shore power, inverted solar power, or just 12v. Quite happy with our purchase as we have the flexibility of switching between lesser expensive 5G mobile data plans, based on coverage area.

I currently have the Nighthawk M5 5200. I read several reviews on the new M6 indicating a 20% speed increase over my M5. I ran multiple test using the same sim, testing the M5 and M6 in the same exact spot and used the same cell phone at the same distance from the Nighthawks on the 5ghz channels using wifi6. I ran 7 tests on each Nighthawk using my Ookla test app. I tossed the high and low test on each Nighthawk and averaged the middle 5 tests on each. The M5 and M6 were almost identical, both in the mid 500 mbps download speed. Only a 1% difference between the two averages with the M5 turning in the very very slightly better speed.
The M5 and the M6 both provide excelent data speeds. If you have an M5 I would not recommend an 6M upgrade. If you dont have an M5, then I highly recomend the M6.

Working as Expected for Dedicated WiFi Source

Using as a dedicated wifi for automobile. Works great and as expected. It would have been nice if there were mounting holes or brackets of some sort when needing to operate in this fashion. App gives a way better interface to work with rather than using the screen, just make sure you set it to not disconnect the signal when not in use so it remains up all the time.

Really like this new unlocked M6! A bit pricey though. Battery will not last 13 hours as advertised only if you dont have the best optimal setup in settings and too many options turned on. Other than that, it is a great alternative to a mobil phone hotspot. I think it is an excellent data hotspot with great options along with being unlocked. It works great on T-Mobil network which is how I have it setup. I have no issues with it and use it in our RV up and down the east coast. I like the fact that when starlink can not get a signal due to weather, location and has to gave clear line of site with no trees on order for starlink to even work. My Netgear M6 delivers with no conectivity issues via Cell towers instead.

This is a great product. It has worked every place I have taken it so far. Speeds are pretty good. Charge time is slow but I usually use it while plugged in. This will be my primary access in my studio.

I needed it to work with Google Fi’s data only SIM, and it does! Awesome for someone who has an unlimited data plan!

Best Hotspot
on October 31, 2022
Posted by: rlfarr
The Netgear M6 pro is the best hotspot I have ever used. I tried it on the AT&T network and got reliable 5G connection and very fast connections wherever I used it. It is very versatile with wi-fi 6e (very fast), 2.5G ethernet, and USB C tethering. The M6 hotspot it compact and durable. I especially liked the large, colorful LCD screen. It makes it simple to setup and check operation of the hotspot. Battery life lasts 8 - 9 hours easily. The M6 pro is a great hotspot for traveling or even to use at home for 5G Internet service. It is a powerful and full featured wi-fi router that allows up to 32 connections.

Very fast WiFi and easy to set up. The Ethernet port was “off” when it arrived so that caused me some problems. But once I got all of it connected, it’s working very well.
One downside, it’s Expensive!
