Perfect for RV life
on August 2, 2024
Posted by: Tom Mongillo
We needed a device that could be left plugged in without battery inside it for use on the road in our RV. We travel full time and our old device needed the battery in even when plugged in. That led us to unplugging and plugging it back in several times a day, even still we ended up with battery bloat twice.
This option is great, plug it in and walk away. It powers 4 tv’s multiple computers, security systems, communication with the coach, Alexa, Echo, and an air purifier.
Great investment and works great with our Verizon sim.

Poor and inconsistent download speed
on November 19, 2023
Posted by: Scott816
Gender:Male
Length of ownership:6 months
I bought this months ago. I consistently get .5-.6 Mbps download speeds while my phone, receiving the same cell signal, gets 30 Mbps download speeds. A reboot of the hotspot may temporarily increase download speed to 20 Mbps, but never faster, and it will soon degrade. I've tried adding an antenna, and it is running the latest software.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is awesome! I do not have many options for internet in my area. Tried several other routers but this one beats them all on keeping a connection and blazing fast! Worth the money!

Better performance than my phone right next to it.
on April 21, 2023
Posted by: Jumpmaster
Verified Purchase:Yes
This router is receiving 5g signals (sometimes) while my phone never leaves 4g. It shows the same signal strength as my phone yet it is picking up a better option. It is tethered to the external antenna and that might be the reason for getting 5g and not my phone. I'll leave that question with the experts to answer. I am happy with this purchase of the unlocked model and happy to have paid a bit more for the option to swap carriers as needed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fast when in 5g area
on July 4, 2023
Posted by: Annoyedbypeople
The M6 is a bit expensive but if you're in a good 5g area it's super fast.
