NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro Mobile Hotspot 5G mmWave, 8Gbps, Unlocked, AT&T & T-Mobile, International Roaming, Portable WiFi Device for Travel, 5G Modem Wireless Router (MR6500) (Renewed)

So I was going to go on a deployment, however, I did not want to spend nearly 1k on one of these things and wanted to get 5 G access, hence me buying this refurbished one. I thought, worst case was that I just returned it. It was annoying to set up, had to look up the manual and set it from nrbroadband to broadband, but once I did, I could swap my SIM card from my phone to this and get wifi consistently. Some thingremember mind that the speed relies heavily on your data plan and LOS to cell towers. If your phone can get a good signal, likely this will too. Currently, I have to keep mine near a window, and I consistently reach 100 Mbps. I've used it to download AND play games, even FPS games. This solution is only for non-permanent wifi necessities while you're moving around. For me, I would have had to buy barracks wifi to get internet or refill hotspot data again and again. This is a great solution for that. I would not use this in place of something like Starlink, cabled internet, or even wifi from buildings (unless bad, like where I am writing this.) This works best if you are: Traveling (1 week to a few months) Have a good Dataplan Need a consistent and reliable internet will be in places with good cell reception The device itself was fine, I had no issues with it. Though with these being refurbished, your results may vary.

Useless piece of junk! Spent way too long trying to set up. Does not work. Add to that in order to attempt to set up the instructions advise going into the att store to do a final connect. Anyone that has ever been to an att actual store knows what a nightmare that is...

Very reliable device. Works amazing, signal strength amazing easy set up. Travel ability great Overall worth it

Extremely useful and reliable. I've had it a few months and it works very well. I even took a SIM card from a Franklin Jextream (T-Mobile) and put it in the M6 and it worked fine. The battery did overheat and I currently run it from plugged in, which runs great. I recommend it but NOT at full price. Use an Amazon seller who has it in excellent refurbished condition or Ebay with a TRUSTED seller

The device came in retail packaging. It powered up OK but the interface was in Spanish at first. It's confusing because you can't change the language in the menus. You have to go into the settings to Factory Reset. As it restarts it gives you the option to switch to English. The Samsung power adapter that was included works as expected. It switches from 5V to 9V. A regular 5V adapter might not work since it seems to need 9V for the high power mode (2.5G Ethernet, WiFi 6, and extended WiFi range). Some reviewers complain that it needs to restart when you change modes. This is normal for this type of device. It only takes about a minute to restart. Also, you need to take out the battery for the high power mode. I think it gets too hot in that mode and the battery can get damaged. I'm hoping this things lasts. I got the extended warranty just in case. Mine is labeled AT&T but hopefully it's unlocked since I want to use T Mobile. I'll find out tomorrow. The WiFi range isn't the best, but for such a tiny device it's not bad. I'll just be using it for my office and as a backup for livestreaming. The range would likely be better with antennas. I'm happy I was able to get this device for such a low price. Such a great deal. No other device has all the features of this one, but $999 is to much to pay for a new one.

I should have known better than to buy refurbished electronic equipment. I learned this lesson years ago, but I guess my memory lessened the experience over time. I remember oh so well now. The charger that came with it won't run the device without the battery in it. Tried a different charger and it would cycle on and off. Next the SIM card was hard to install. After watching video I got it in - no signal. Checked the net and they said sim card had to installed just right to make it work. Since the charger doesn't work this meant removing battery, moving the card a bit and then reinstalling battery. Each time 5 minute time for device to boot up. After 30 minutes of this I realized - this is a complete piece of crap. Back in the box and off to Amazon it goes. DON'T PURCHASE!!! There is a reason this is so heavily discounted and not worth it even at that price.

Best performing hot spot at a stunning price!

I specifically asked the seller prior to purchasing if INDEED this hotspot was unlocked since it had both Unlocked and ATT in the description. I was assured that it was unlocked. After receiving the item, I went to ATT to verify that it was unlocked but was told that it could not be. I contacted the seller again and they provided me an unlock code telling me "This is the code:########. When the netgear asks for the code please enter this and you can use the netgear. You can also google it if you have any doubts." The device never asked for the code. I tried searching for instruction on google but most things are a paid service to unlock a device. I reached out to the seller again telling them that the device was not asking for a code. Their reply "Yes these are unlocked devices, but sometimes mistakes do happen and i think it got missed out. Hence we have sent you the unlocking code." I should not have to try to figure out how to make a product something that was advertised. The seller should have been more helpful with instructions. Or better yet ensuring their products do what they say they will before they are shipped. Since I need a hotspot for a trip very shortly, I will have to buy an ATT data card.
