All the features you would expect, like how it has the ethernet port, plus strong wifi connection.

Ethernet port is nice, Just not unattended

Originally purchased to augment a terrible coverage area, it landed as the backup to my alarm panel. It crashes after being online too long thanks the hackers, web-interfaces goes offline and so does the DNS. Its just not network grade enough to endure longer operations, was fine as a mobile hotspot for short term uses. External antenna port is pretty boss. There really needs to be a pro-sumer level or guess I need to look at some IOT devices for this. Anyways not really impressed with Netgear lately my Nighthawk didnt hang in there either.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Valued Customer,
Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. As your M6’s temperature increases, its performance is reduced, while overheating the device will cause it to shut down entirely. Considering thermal management when you use your M6 can prevent it from overheating and ensure you have the best experience with your device. When using your M6 continuously for long periods of time, we recommend that you remove the battery/battery cover and plug your M6 in to enable Plugged In mode. For more information on this topic, please visit the following resource: https://kb.netgear.com/000065772/How-can-I-keep-my-Nighthawk-M6-from-overheating.
We would like to look further into the issues with your MR6150 that you are experiencing. Please reach out to us at netgearteam@netgear.com with your contact information, and we will be happy to help you.
Regards,
NETGEAR Team

All Around Great Hotspot

My only complaint was that the estimated data use was WAY higher than what my data plan was saying, which had me freaked out initially. Otherwise it works like a charm so far.

Better Than Most

I needed a replacement jetpack for two others that had given up the ghost due to battery issues in the past few years. This unit operated on battery and direct plug-in power sources so I decided to give it a try. Upon receiving it I simply inserted my old sim card into this new unit. My carrier recognized it and a few clicks later I was in and ready to go. Changed out all the old wifi passwords on cameras, computer, phones and TV and all went well. No battery to keep charged, settings easy to configure and change and the admin settings are complete. There is one issue that keeps cropping up and that is that the signal sometimes drops out. Sometimes for a moment, sometimes for 15-20 minutes. Not sure if it is the carrier signal or the jetpack
