NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro, 5G and 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Router with 2.8 inch Touchscreen, Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, up to 32-Devices (AT&T Unlocked For Global, Verizon, T-Mobile) MR6500 (Black) (Renewed)

I bought this for use in an RV and wanted the external antenna connections. A new one was $700 and under $400 for the refurbished device. Due to the 90 day refund window, I bought the refurbished item. It looks new to me and I had no issue getting it activated at the local AT&T store. Edit to add an issue with activation. This issue is not related to the device, rather a problem with AT&T. The day after I purchased a 12 month 20 GB per month prepaid plan, I could not connect and pull data. I returned to the AT&T store and the sales people couldn't help or determine what the problem was. I went home and called customer service to find a solution. They had to activate the Sim card again and it has been working well since then.

I purchased this along with an external antenna for work use when out in a fully air conditioned field office but away from a wired internet connection, worked great when it did, and provided our laptops and mobile phones a decent internet connection except one major issue: over the course of a workshift, I found that I would be forced to reboot or even on occasion force a factory reset as randomly this device would completely fail to provide an internet connection, regardless that the signal indicator showed 5G UC and always had full bars, I would still completely lose internet connection and unable to even load google on both our phones and laptops until we rebooted and/or factory reset the device. This forced us to take time away from my work to troubleshoot the device and this would happen at least 3 or more times per workshift. So not sure if this is just a defect with my unit, but seeing quite a few other reviews having issues too, I think it may be safe to say this renewed Netgear MR6500, you cannot depend on this device for work, and needless to say, i'd imagine this would be annoying for anyone who games online or does anything that needs a stable and constant internet connection.

I have an AT&T unit I paid cash for and it is taking forever to get it unlocked. Why is it locked to begin with, I own it!! Anyway I need a secured connection when I travel (I am a software developer). So I ordered this unit which is identical to the one I own and put my TMOBILE sim in a boom, it works. Ethernet works great and WIFI signal is solid. You can adjust lots of settings for example WIFI strength so if you are in a hotel you can keep the signal basically in your room or boost so it goes further; I would say 100 feet. The connection is encrypted if you want and that is what I need so yeah for 160 bucks I solved my issue and I can now travel in a few days and still do my work. The important part of this unit is the ethernet port. In my line of work some of it needs to be absolutely security with ethernet and this offers that just like you were on home internet. With ethernet, you can also plug into router as a backup for your home

Easy to set up. Network connections are quick to connect and no dropouts. When last checked it was downloading at approx 340 Mbps . The user interface is excellent. It is slow to boot but I'm not in a hurry. I'm using Consumer Cellular which resells AT&T so there were no issues with activating the sim. I'm not sure about the warranty, supposedly it's one year for a perfect refurbished unit with no scratches and that describes the unit that I received however there was no paperwork, not even a shipping invoice, so I don't know what the warranty terms are for this unit.

This little box arrived faster than I was expecting. The folks at my local AT&T store sent me home with a SIM card. At first I was thrown because while I’ve changed SIM cards in a lot of phones over the years, this device takes a nano SIM card. I could not see the performation on the SIM card initially to break it down from a regular SIM to a Nano SIM card. Once I figured that out setup was easy-peasy. Mine didn’t come with any directions and I’m an RTFM kind of person. The directions suggest that if I use it plugged in to remove the battery to help with heat dissipation. That’s a pretty bad design, honestly, and even without the battery in it I can feel some real heat from the device. So just an FYI for anyone who sets up first and reads the manual only when something goes wrong. I pressed the power button on the side for 2-seconds and it took a few minutes to power up, find a signal and enter the setup routine, all of which it did automatically. I only had to follow the directions in the touchscreen and I was online in no time. I’m only getting 30mbps up and 11mbps down from my second floor office which is more than enough for what I need. There is an external antenna made by Netgear just for this and it plugs into two cute ports that have doors covering them. I may get that to see how much it improves speeds if moving the device to different locations in my house doesn’t get a better 5G signal. It’s not bad for the money. It’s small, cute, and easy to setup and connect to my devices. I would have given it 5 stars from the start if heat dissipation was designed better.

con ninguna de las telefónicas funciona el 5g

El producto en general parecía cumplir con las especificaciones , wifi 6 gestión a través de de la aplicación buen rango. Sin embargo al ser Reacondicionado era evidente que algo le falló y en este caso fue el display, que se trababa la pantalla, no se actualizaba el comando al apretar la pantalla, si no hasta presionar unas tres veces, también se tardaba hasta tres minutos en iniciar y mostrar la wifi para los dispositivos, adicional los cambios en el sistema requerían un reinicio y era una enorme tiempo desperdiciado para hacer pruebas de conectividad. Adicional el equipo en la página oficial dice que trabaja con todas las bandas sin embargo no es solo poner la Sim e iniciar , para funcionar con la banda 28 hay que cargar manualmente la APN algo que no es complicado pero lamentablemente las restricciones de la operadora impiden que funcione por más de 10 minutos y regresamos al problema inicial de que hay que reconfigurar la APN y esperar el reinicio de 3 minutos.
