Broke within 8 months
on October 5, 2026
Posted by: jplevene
Worked well then completly failed after 8 months. To get waaranty return help with Netgear is a nightmare. The app won't connect, no control via IP address over WiFi, could only connect to a laptop via USB which is completely useless. Even eSim failed and wouldn't connect to that. Feel completly let down by Netgear with really bad support and a very unreliable product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Really like this hotspot. No major problems. Only minor comment is it takes a while to boot up. I have successfully loaded 2 ESIMS and 1 sim. Nice to have options. It is pricey but you get what you pay for as they say.
This is a near-perfect mobile Wi-Fi device. The only downside is the difficulty in finding a telecom operator that sells cheap data SIM cards separately; you're forced to risk using your SIM card in the Wi-Fi device...
Works well but battery doesn't even last a day. Needs to be charged about twice daily.

Great Travel Hotspot with killer Wifi-Offload feature

Used on a recent road trip - excellent alternative to carrier-provided hotspots. I used a pre-paid physical SIM and got full 5G speeds. The wifi offload feature is very useful. You can save mobile data when you are at home or near available wifi. Setup was super-easy (took me 5 minutes max to go from out of the box to online). The NETGEAR app isn't required to use the M7, but it does enhance the experience. Having eSIM as an option makes this a good product for international travel.
It’s ok I guess. I’m not sure it has as much bang for my bucks.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Product had rave reviews I’m not sure it was worth the price tag as I’ve had several issues with it remaining connected or connecting to my work computer.
