I like your clear video. I wish you showed how to get the phone to recognise it and be a bit more information about setting up the route and what each icon does
would be nice to compare it whit phone hotspot. Make wifi whit bouth connect whit 3rd device and check speed on either network. To see witch one is faster
What is the upload speed? I noticed some people asked it below and didn't get an answer either, if you could let me know that would be super helpful. Maybe also testing on a computer as well would make this video super helpful. Thanks!
I use the M6 Pro with AT&T. Under 5g+, it routinely hits 350-400 down and up to 10 upload speeds. I reboot it every 12 hours and it stays off for two minutes….otherwise it sometimes malfunctions and it stays on 5g+ this way. I do wonder if the external antennas would help?
I'm trying to find a good thing to use for gaming, i live kinda off grid in a small house i built, im really looking for something i can use to play some apex and whatnot with
@djove nothing lmao Ive just been playing offline games like Skyrim, although if you in a spot that can't be supported by regular Wi-Fi Tesla makes starlink which is good WiFi anywhere in the world but it can get expensive
Is this any good with gaming on my ps5? I live with 4 other kids who game it up all day and the WiFi is so bad it pisses me off when I try playing online. I’m a total noob to all this and just recently started looking into getting my own little mobile hotspot just for gaming. I can’t stand these god damn kids sabotaging my days off work where I just wana chill and game it up.
Basically I work in office and the wifi there is restricted, I work 8 hours a day twice a week. My goal is to get my own hotspot (like the one shown in the video) I sometimes do video calls and work on projects as a data analyst. Do you see this overheating on me? I plan to have this next to me in my desk in the office everytime im at work. I want to carry this little thing around. I’m just afraid that if I leave it plugged in during my whole shift it might overheat based off the comments and reviews
One very important thing that is lacking in this series since M1 is the IP reserved or IP-bind feature. Can u confirmed if that is available now in M6? Port forwarding is supported in this mobile hotspot, but if IP reserved is not supported then how to do proper forwarding. Compared to ZTE MU5002 which also has ethernet port, i would say Nighthawk has much more stable connection with constant ping while ZTE ping is not stable although both are using Qualcomm chipset. Both tested with exactly same simcard at same location connected at same band. ZTE has IP reserved feature anyway. Nighthawk will work without battery but ZTE refused to power up without battery. ZTE is only 1/3 of the price of Nighthawk.
If I keep the battery removed can I use as all day home internet? I live in a rural area where internet service is horrible and I only have 1 option. I would like this as a replacement for my internet provider.
I wonder how come with my old MR1100 I can use that one with no battery (and just plugged into the wall with no ethernet cable) and I still get internet with that one but my new M6 will not work without the battery in it, when I remove the battery and plug it into the wall I dont get any internet at all. Hmmmm. (they both have sim cards with unlimited data)
I’ll keep it simple. If you can’t get cell service you will not have this working. But it can enhance cell signal with antenna if you get bad signal. But not with NO signal
70k+ views with only 900+ likes is NOT a good sign for this video. I'd be interested to see the dislikes. Edit: the vid is now at 81k views and still only at 986 likes. We can't see the dislikes but I'd have to bet it's higher than the likes.
It would have been great if he would have mentioned how much the price each month for whatever plan like say 100Gb a month etc... like wanting to buy a car but they don't give the miles and gotta call and it's a hassle, it's just real convenient if you know the monthly and most people are on a budget by the way so it really matters $$$ All in all though he's got a lot of great information and had a real good presentation on the device!😊
Hello. Is it also possible to charge the device with a power bank or have it in operation even though it is still charging? For me as a live streamer this is important. Thanks
And this helps how? The phone can’t be left behind to provide data for devices like cameras. And i don’t think you’ll get gigabit speeds via phone hotspot.
Hi! Gaming on ps5 or Xbox on a wireless mobile Hotspot can use a lot of data very quickly. You might need a top of the line data plan to make it feasible.
You can ask your provider or you can get a prepaid one. I use prepaid options but I recommended not running speed tests on it as they use a lot of data very quickly.
Hi! Which mobile service provider are you using and where? I recommend calling the service and telling them as if it's the same place/same plan you should get better speeds 4g vs 5g
@@TheFrenchGlow its att. Both my hotspots r on a 5g plan but they had to do a new line for the new one because the “couldnt” sell me the device out right
@@TheFrenchGlow found out that my plan is capped at 25mbps and they cant uncap or increase it so ig ima return theirs and buy the netgear one. What sim card did u go with again?
Now I undetstand. I used a tmobile simcard. The standard, prepaid plan but if it's att, if possible, I would complain at them. You also find tweeting at them gets better service.
Can you use a mint or visible sim in this? I am disabled. I want to have internet In the mountains, and off grid so I can study and go to college online
Hi! that could be due to Steam. If you are on 5G, it should give you 5G speeds. If it's not, I would call your data provider and let them know because it should be much faster. Also, I don't recommend running a speedtest more than once if you buy prepaid data as some tests use 1gb+ per test.
I own one is fantastic technologies,however at@t should be a shame....no unlimited plans available. I bought this device to replaced my home network. I used this device in europe with vodafone some months I get unlimited data plan for 39 euro. The regular plans are 200 gb data for 39 euro. The other problem is 6 and 6E is not ratfied standard. Every vendor implements the way they think until the real standard comes out. That is why there are some different vendors that are not compatible with each other. Intel and Netgear as example here. My laptop I bought intel AX210 Killer 1675x but can't see the 6 network on Netgear.
Depending on Your network on LTE in Germany I got (in Hannover) 307mb in download speed in 5G I will expect over 2000gb in speed will have this device next month 😎
I bought one through Amazon, reconditioned. It kept overheating and I turned it back for a replacement. The second one kept disconnecting all the time. I sent that and went back also, got the refund, and bought something that works.
I'll offer you a deal: if you'll answer a question, I'll like and subscribe. I'm not sure why but my M6 pro with att offers truly unlimited data and in my home it downloads at about 190 mbps, but the range is limited to the room it's in. I can deal with that. But at night, when I'm not using the device, can I leave the unit plugged into the wall without the danger of overheating the unit?

OK I also work and events and do live streaming. Download speeds are fine but What is the upload speed of the modem with T-Mobile?
Did you find the answer to this.
I would like to know that answer also.
i got one on 10/24, model MR7400. i get 250 Mbps download and 2 (that is 2) Mbps upload St Pete Fl. Maybe not the best for streaming.
Is there an Unlimited data plan for T-Mobile

Hi there would this work for live-streaming on UA-cam off the grid? Really debating on getting this. Thank you!
I know it depends on the cellular plan but what is latency specs. And what provider is the better choice
What’s the best WiFi settings for the mobile hotspot? Cellular only, WiFi + Cellular or Ethernet + Cellular?
Do I have to get the plan with hot spot or I can just do unlimited data?
Yo did you ever find out how to do it
I think its works like a phone bill with the SIM card
By chance, can you go to Settings > More > Device Information > and then let me know what the Firmware Version and Modem Version are? Thanks!
How fast is the upload speed? I’m asking for gaming

Good choice!
@@TheFrenchGlowdid you mention the upload speed in this video? Or did I miss it. Thank you.
I noticed ping times are higher than say optical home internet. How does this perform in FPS games? Does hardwiring the ethernet improve ping times?
Hi! Definitely improves fps if hardwired as the device doesn't have to allocate resources for mobile connections. It's more for mobile and remote use
Hi will this allow me to irl live stream with a go pro to twitch/obs or is this not possible

great info, thx. can I purchase any sim card for this device?
Yes it should work with any simcard data plan
I bought one and it's been a nightmare with most cellular providers, they will throttle you down, good luck.
Thanks for your video. How many hours would the battery last? Like when I am camping outside?
Hi, depends on the connection. How strong is the signal where you will be?
Best review on these device by far thank you. How does work outside the country?
Good for gaming?
Ping and latency could be high on a cellular network.
nothing but problems with mine I'm on the second one slow as speed over heats to 62c and randomly cuts off
I blue tack mine to the A/C vent ,only way to stop it overheating and shutting down
Which is the best SIM card for the Netgear Nighthawk and how much is it?
best in what sense?
@@mjscpr just overall performance. Upload speed, download speed, doesn’t get disconnected too much, etc
Still no no e-sim or built-in memory capabilities.
Can someone please explain what is the difference between the Nighthawk M6 Pro and non-pro version?
So can I plug into wall to leave on and use an Ethernet to pc?

ZTE has an older modem and ping is a much bigger than in M6
how does it work compare to Glocalme Numen Air ?
Would this be good for live-streaming or do they cap your data and slow you down?
I would only use it for livestreaming if you have a unlimited data plan.
Could I remote in to an ERP system like Dynamics on something like this?
this merely gives you internet. You probably want to use a vpn, which you could do via your computer / laptop or an additional device.
is it possible to attach an outdoor wifi extender to this? need it for a bunch of devices in a large 1000ft yard
yes just use a wifi repeater to extend the m6s wifi
what’s the best cellular service to use and do you have any hacks using visible wireless and does it work with verizon wireless?
In US, Tmobile works the best for me in the northeast. No real hacks here.
How about for console gaming may I also add what if you have unlimited data plan
Yes you can connect. But you will want to have the netgear plugged in and not running on battery for max efficiency and performance.
Do you have a comparison to the Nighthawk M1?
I have the m1.. It's good also but battery drain fast and it's so hot.
What's the monthly rate going for?
So, I am looking for a hotspot to use in Mexico long term as a backup internet source. Is this one that you would recommend?
Hi! Yes I would recommend this one as it can work as a wired router and mobile Hotspot.
@@TheFrenchGlow can you use this while it’s charging I need one for gaming
Greetings, I just purchased one and it list Verizon as a carrier could I use my sim card from my Verizon jetpack to make this work?
How much are the plans for this?
Can you connect without having to use a QR code? I want to use this for my Xbox to stream/game
Yes, the QR code just makes it faster to connect.
How long does the battery last on non stop use? Ty
Around 4hrs
Ive brought this but it is really slow any tips?
If I keep the battery removed can I use as all day home internet? I live in a rural area where internet service is horrible and I only have 1 option. I would like this as a replacement for my internet provider.
Yes correct. Keep it plugged in without battery for home internet, stationary.
Yes you can and you could also add a heatsink with fan to reduce the heat
Why the price of this is like new (expensive) phone ? Which, in turn, can also serve as a hotspot !
On AT&T and I’m barely getting 20mbs down
Me too 🤷🏿♂️
what were you getting for upload speeds?
I tried many but this one is amazing and strong .. We just dont like its size
My hotspot on my iPhone keeps going off while i am watching a movie in my caravan so would this cure my problem without any extra costs
it may, but you need an additional sim card
4:00 you’re supposed to be getting 2.5 gbps not a mere 200 mbps
2.5 gig is just what it's "capable" of
I wonder how come with my old MR1100 I can use that one with no battery (and just plugged into the wall with no ethernet cable) and I still get internet with that one but my new M6 will not work without the battery in it, when I remove the battery and plug it into the wall I dont get any internet at all. Hmmmm. (they both have sim cards with unlimited data)
Check the settings and manual. Pretty sure they have the same function
What if the T-mobile network is spotty in the area?
Hi! The netgear will only be spotty if the data connection is spotty.
Can I use with desktops?
hi! yes you can.
Is it possible to put unlimited data? Of course with a monthly payment.
I don't understand how these work. How do I get internet for the cheapest price in the forest. Thanks so much for help
I’ll keep it simple. If you can’t get cell service you will not have this working. But it can enhance cell signal with antenna if you get bad signal. But not with NO signal
So I don't have 5G in my area, but I have 4G.L.T.E will it still work on that band?
Yes.. It's supports 4g,Lte and 3g

That’s like asking the price of the car when you don’t even know which model you’re going to get. It depends on the SIM card you get.
Mine runs so hot it makes the sim overheat and go in ‘Searching’ mode
Can this be connected to a hotel wifi system with their login?
You could figure out how to do it easily but it would be very slow.
In the USA the cellular service providers will throttle you down after a few days so it's a great device but not here.

Same
Does it work with a 4G WiFi?
Would this be good for gaming? I struggle with latency online.
Hi! Not for ps5, pc, Xbox gaming unless you hardwired it or have a high speed unlimited data plan. Video games eat bandwidth.
By hardwired you mean have it used as a router and plugged in all the time? Then also how much is the high speed unlimited data plan?
What does hardwiring do? Just get rid of the issue of it dying while using it?

U can use a sattelite wifi router. Those never go off grid unless theres a technical failure in the satelite which is very rare. It costs a lot tho
