We also recommend doing a walk test of the location to find the strongest cellular signal, which will generally result in best performance. Another method is to use your smartphone as a guide - wherever you tend you have the best cellular performance (i.e., voice quality and/or data service), your NETGEAR mobile router will often also work best in those locations. Press and hold the Power button on your M6 until NETGEAR displays M6 will boot up automatically and reboot if the ethernet port had not been manually enabled previously. I would personally recommend that Netgear start marketing this device aggressively in the trailer/motorhome marketplaces. Read full review I had to configure the APN settings on the device (very easy to do) since it didn't automatically get them from the network or from the SIM card. Once connected, there was a firmware update immediately available which I accepted..

That upload speed is pretty impressive when you consider the upload speed on our Optus cable home broadband connection rarely gets over 2Mbps. We recommend placing your NETGEAR mobile hotspot as close to a window as possible, with few obstructions. You may receive a stronger signal in certain parts of the dwelling where you intend to use your mobile hotspot. The Nighthawk M1 even managed 105.69 Mbps at Wynyard Station with an impressive 55.88 Mbps upload speed.

Where I live, my only choices for high speed internet is dsl with a phone company that will never get my business again, or over cel phone towers. This router, along with a 3rd party ISP (NOT the isp these are branded for) works great for home internet that can be taken along while traveling. Anywhere there is cel phone service I have internet service. EE, part of BT Group, is the largest and most advanced mobile communications company in the UK, delivering mobile and fixed communications services to consumers. Yet the speeds we did register were no doubt really impressive and better than the fixed broadband speeds you’d achieve over cable and even on the NBN.Ethernet port and 2 USB ports (Type A and C) for media streaming from microSD, USB or external hard drive to all connected devices The Nighthawk M1 features a data usage meter, enabling customers to simply monitor their data, and with a 5040mAh battery, the device can charge mobile devices through the integrated USB port.

Mobile WiFi and fixed wireless devices that are certified have been tested by that carrier and are guaranteed by the carrier to work on their networks. Compatible devices meet the requirements of that carrier and should work on those networks. NETGEAR is delighted to be working with EE to provide its customers with the new Nighthawk M1 4G mobile router, said David Henry, Senior Vice President of Connected Home Products for NETGEAR. This new category of mobile routers is destined to be an essential tool for those that need to provide superfast 4G WiFi to a number of devices.” This hotspot connect on two networks 2.4 and 5 Ghz. Not 5G as 3G and 4G. 2.4 and 5 Ghz are bandwith like if you have a cordless phone/ wireless heaphones etc. for me the 5 Ghz is faster that the 2.4 but sometime causes interference/noise in my headphones. You can use both wifi and Rj45 cable. We were connected to the M1 all day through a laptop, tablet and smartphone and still had about 35 per cent battery left at the end of the day. Wi-Fi/Ethernet offloading capabilities so your device connections move from the car (LTE) to your hotel’s internet

EE is the only UK operator to provide the advanced 4G+ network speeds that can deliver the full capability of the Nighthawk M1’s ‘Cat 16’ specification. EE started offering these speeds earlier this summer in London’s Tech City and Cardiff, and they are being rolled out across Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh. This summer, EE demonstrated real world 4G+ speeds of 429Mbps in Cardiff city centre using a ‘Cat 16’ smartphone, and the NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 is the first 4G WiFi device able to access these speeds.
