Expensive yet works as advertised. I have used it all over the world with various SIM cards. It does overheat and shut down occasionally. The solution is to remove the battery and plug it in directly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Absolutely love the Nighthawk M6 Pro! Setup was a breeze—super intuitive and quick. The performance is top-notch, with fast, reliable connectivity wherever I go. It handles multiple devices effortlessly, and the sleek design is a bonus. Highly recommend it for anyone who needs powerful portable internet on the go. Truly awesome!
Getting a SIM from any of the wireless carriers is a bit of a challenge as all of them would rather sell you what they have. Also, On all their web pages checking if the device is compatible, their checker shows that the IMEI is not compatible. Easiest way is to have the SIM activated for a plan with a descent hotspot size, then install in the unit. This was the way I was able to get it to work. It works flawlessly with impressive stable speeds. Would recommend without reservations.
It is a lot faster than my older 4G/LTE hotspot. I am sure it will be well worth the cost as I do many events on location and need a dependable hotspot. It works well so far with my ATT account.
Very pleased with my purchase of the MR6550. It works as advertised and has saved my bacon several times during Wi-Fi outages. Works well at hotels and pretty much everywhere. Easy setup took 2 mins tops. I use an AT&T sim with no issues.
