Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Netgear Nighthawk M7 Pro. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. Reliable connectivity is important, and we understand how frustrating it can be when weather conditions impact your hotspot’s performance.
The Nighthawk M7 Pro is designed to deliver strong, fast connections, but like all wireless devices, signal strength can sometimes be affected by heavy rain or dense cloud cover. For the best experience, we recommend placing your hotspot near a window or in an open area to maximize signal strength during challenging weather.
If you continue to have trouble, our support team is always here to help troubleshoot and explore ways to improve your connection. Thank you again for choosing AT&T. We’re committed to keeping you connected, rain or shine!

Thanks for sharing your experience! The Netgear Nighthawk M7 Pro is indeed solid performance-wise, especially with Wi-Fi 7 and the X75 modem providing reliable 5G speeds. As you noted, it only has two TS-9 antenna ports, limiting external antenna options compared to higher-tier models with four ports. For users in weaker signal areas, leveraging high-gain or MIMO-compatible external antennas can help maximize performance through those two ports. Overall, it strikes a good balance of portability, speed, and connectivity, even if it isn’t the absolute top in its class.
