NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro, 5G Router With Sim Slot Unlocked, Hotspot For Portable Wi-Fi, Mobile Modem Router for Home/Business, AX3600 Wi-Fi 6E up to 32 devices (MR6450)

It's hard to encapsulate the marvel that is the NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro within the confines of a single review. Yet, I shall endeavour to do so. Right off the bat, the elegance and sleek black aesthetic of the device garnered my admiration. It exudes a sense of polished robustness that I found genuinely appealing. Setting up the device was refreshingly straightforward, a smooth process greatly assisted by the larger 7.1cm color LCD touch screen. With a few taps and a swipe here or there, my 5G router was ready to offer me ultra-fast, secure internet with speeds up to 6Gbps. The Nighthawk M6 Pro's performance was a delightful surprise. Avidly downloading large files, streaming high-definition content, and engaging in intense online gaming sessions, the router didn't falter for a second. Its Wi-Fi 6E speeds up to 3.6Gbps for up to 32 devices ensured fast downloads and seamless connectivity. Indeed, this portable 5G modem came to redefine what I thought was possible in terms of mobile Wi-Fi. Moreover, the device demonstrated a vast coverage area, significantly boosting my Wi-Fi up to a staggering 92.5m2 at home. This feature truly unshackles you from the constraints of limited Wi-Fi coverage. Whether I was in my garden, the living room, or even the attic, the router had me covered. However, I did encounter a minor hiccup. The companion Netgear app designed to manage the device failed to connect. Although not a deal-breaker, as you can manage the device through a web browser, it's an inconvenience nonetheless. Furthermore, the price tag may appear daunting at first glance, yet when you consider the device's performance, quality, and the myriad of features it provides, the investment seems more than justified. And let's not forget the peace of mind it brings, given its compatibility with most major 5G & 4G LTE network operators and support for worldwide roaming. The NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro's prowess extends beyond its primary features. The inclusion of a 2.5 Gig Ethernet port for multi-gig wired speeds is a bonus that can not be overlooked. I found this feature incredibly useful when connecting the device to my home Wi-Fi router or when a more stable wired connection was necessary for my laptop. In a nutshell, the NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro is an impeccable marriage of design, function, and performance. Despite a minor hiccup with its companion app, the router proves itself as an unparalleled choice for anyone in pursuit of lightning-fast, reliable, and secure 5G mobile Wi-Fi. This is a product that doesn't merely promise a great experience; it delivers on it!

Sent it back as it was faulty. The device kept restarting, not recognising SIM cards etc. That aside - I would say this; for a premium price tag, this product is of disappointingly poor quality. The whole UI and UX of the device is clunky with annoying delayed and non-registering finger taps when trying to select options on the screen. Also the screen calibration is completely off so clicking one menu item will almost certainly select the one above or below it. I can't speak confidently for the device performance because for the whole 15 minutes I ever got anything running on it, it simply didn't work and speeds never hit above 40mbps (on 5G!) which is comparatively awful against other devices I tested. Maybe I'm spoilt as I've come to expect the quality you get from most premium smartphones in terms of the user experience and screen responsiveness. However, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect this type of quality on a device which costs nearly £800. If quality of product is something you value, avoid this device.

Works perfectly. Like others I have read in these reviews I had problems connecting to the internet via ethernet but was able to overcome this by connecting to the mains via the supplied power supply.

First one was delivered next day but upon power up and setup, the unit would automatically reboot for no reason. After two days I called Netgear and they did an RMA. I received the new unit the very next day. This one worked fine. I tried a few nano sims and all worked fine. Took it to the Dominican Republic and bought a data sim from Claro Mobile for US $15. This worked a treat in the high temperature and humidity and only once powered down due to heat overload. I bought a spare battery but in reality, the batt lasts around 6-8 hours which is fine. The speed of the unit (Wi-Fi 6) is extremely fast. The ethernet port is very useful insofar as security in conjunction with a VPN for business and banking transactions type of traffic which you would be crazy to use the hotel Wi-Fi. The only downside is the high price and that basic setup. There is no means to customise DNS over TLS or other functions which would be on a router in this price point. I would much prefer to choose my own DNS such as Cloudflare.

Bought to build a stack of laptops and absolutely incredible piece of kit! Great UI too! 5G speeds make all the difference! Cracking piece of kit!!!

I’m disappointed with this very expensive (£900) mifi router which promises so much but isn’t yet robust enough to deliver reliably. WiFi coverage indoors is very poor unless you connect it to a separate Wi-Fi mesh which rather defeats the purpose. It overheated, the device diagnostics showed device temperatures of up to 61C, and the device froze on mains power without the battery (as recommended for maximum performance) . I had to insert the battery & reboot several times to get it to work again. I’ve reached out to Netgear Customer Support on 2 separate issues I experienced within 2 days of purchase & days later have had only acknowledgments with case numbers. Reading TrustPilot reviews about Netgear Customer Service is sobering. I really wouldn’t recommend purchasing this router at this time. Update Netgear after much chasing accepted that the unit was defective & offered a replacement. However, their RMA process is much more tortuous than the simple process of obtaining a refund from Amazon so I went for that option. I will do much more research before buying another MiFi router!

Overall the product fulfills its purpose from portability to its intended function which 100% I agree with and would recommend this product to anyone else looking for these requirements.

Goed maar (te) duur.

Perfecto

Excellent mobile hotspot. Very fast 5G speeds and strong WiFi signal, even with multiple devices connected. Setup was easy and the touchscreen makes it simple to manage. Works great for travel and as a backup internet connection. Reliable, stable, and high-quality device — highly recommended.

Apparaat verliest regelmatig de verbinding met internet. Wordt echt heet, zowel bij het laden als bij het gebruik. Zelfs zo heet dat de SIM-kaart defect raakt. Ik ga nu voor de 4e keer een nieuwe SIM-kaart halen bij KPN. Als oplossing geven ze aan, het deksel van de accu te verwijderen. Dan valt de accu er simpelweg uit. Oplossing 2 : verwijder de accu en maak gebuik van netstroom. Dan denk je toch, ik koop een MOBIEL apparaat... hoezo netstroom !!!. Maar goed, je wil toch naar een oplossing toe... en die is er niet. Want zelfs op de bijgeleverde netvoeding, werkt het apparaat niet naar behoren. Had hoge verwachtingen van het merk, en gezien de prijs. Maar dat wordt bij lange na, niet waargemaakt. Ik ga nog met Net Gear in gesprek voor een oplossing, en hoop dat er iets goeds uit komt. Voor nu vind ik het een blamage voor een merk met zo'n omvang. Wordt vervolgd.....

J'avoue qu'en lisant certains commentaires, j'ai eu un peu peur de débourser autant d'argent et le jour où je l'au reçu, j'ai bien cru que c'était justifié. Le 1er jour, l'appareil perdait tout le temps la connexion, au point que je devais redémarrer à chaque fois l'appareil. J'ai perdu 2h à chercher à remédier à ça et j'ai fini par changer l'APN de mon fournisseur internet. Ben ça a fonctionné, plus de perte de connexion. Il fonctionne très bien, j'atteins même plus de 560mb en 5Ghz. Le seul bémol, c'est le signal WiFi qui n'est pas assez fort, j'ai l'appareil dans le salon et dans la chambre qui est à 5m, la télé ne capte pas l'appareil même en modifiant les paramètres de l'appareil à signal fort. Si quelqu'un a une solution pour ça, je suis preneur. Pour le reste, je recommande l'appareil.
