The NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro Mobile Hotspot promises ultimate versatility with its high-performance, secure 5G mmWave internet and WiFi 6E technology. It's unlocked and certified to work with major carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, and supports international roaming in over 125 countries. However, user experiences reveal a mix of satisfaction and frustration.
On the positive side, users appreciate its ability to connect up to 32 devices simultaneously, providing a more powerful and secure alternative to mobile phone hotspots. The device is praised for its top-notch WiFi speed compared to using a phone as a hotspot, making it a reliable companion for remote work. Some users also found it easy to understand settings and menus, with the option to switch between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.
However, several issues have been reported. The battery life is a significant concern; some users noted that the battery won't hold a charge after less than a year of use. Overheating is another common problem, especially during live streaming or heavy usage. The device's build quality has been criticized for feeling cheap compared to its high price tag. Additionally, the firmware is described as unfinished, with incorrect 5G signal reporting and frequent reboots required when changing power modes.
Despite these drawbacks, the Nighthawk M6 Pro does deliver on its promise of fast wireless connectivity and international compatibility. For those willing to overlook its flaws and manage its limitations—like using it without the battery or ensuring proper USB-C power specs—it can still be a valuable tool for staying connected on the go.
