The most valuable thing I learned in this video, my "use an old mobile phone as a wifi hotspot when my wired internet goes down" method is absolutely good enough for as many knickers required for a good dedicated unit. Sort your prices Netgear!
I bought an iPad mini 6 cellular for £450 a few years ago and it works brilliant as a 5g hotspot, I get around 1100gb download and 100gb upload, you could probably get an adapter to use it wired Ethernet, or you can use the charger to use tether it to a computer wired.
Actually I've got the genuine netgear one - it's awesome, the connectivity just works and battery is surprisingly long - I had to go to customer site, and I tethered my phone and latop .. I dropped it into the bag and forgot to switch it of, next day when I unloaded the bag it was still running and had 30% ish battery left. The price is steep as hell, but for my use case it's well worth it so far ... so for home use if you can get to power source so battery is not that much of a requirement or you don't care about the bulk go for something else or just wait for something better to come out and this fall in price.
I would add item #6, not always present; being able to update the device, in case of (known) issues, resolving problems, increasing the performance. Any (IT) kit without the option to update the firmware is useless to me. Planned obsolescence then in my book. Netgear set their price much like Tesla; when you're first on the market you can pretty much dictate the prices. Until you are challenged by the competitors with much more affordable prices. And let's please not forget, this type of solution is possibly not what you need every day. Possibly only when you are traveling, on holiday. Than it becomes a really expensive kit for those "few days of the year" etc.
If i had one in my hand, I would just put the device behind a Wireshark for a month, and see how often it phones home, or if its trying to make connections that should not be trying to make. internally or externally. that would be a bare minimum without looking into the code on the chips.
I'm definitely interested in these devices but I'm going to pass on this one despite the low cost. My biggest concern is SECURITY! My next requirement is nothing will be added to my network that does not support at least 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.
Why would I use this type of device rather than tether multiple device to my 5G capable phone when I travel? My phone supports Dual SIM (nano‑SIM and eSIM) or dual eSIM. I'm never going to use 4G/5G for home internet. Pro business failover solutions exist so a business would never have to use these consumer grade products.

Подскажите, где можно скачать новую прошивку иди такую как у вас? В моём роутере стоит 0.0.9.

Hi. Could you make review to the eSunFi 4g lte esim ? I think it is much better than this gadjet.

I'd really just love a cheap 5G modem with a GB LAN port and no built in WiFi, so that I can plug that to my existing router. That's all I'm asking :)
Good review. A one-hundred-quid Android phone is better than this gadget in my opinion.
Second 😂. Btw I‘m an owner of a Netgear M6 router (but currently don‘t use it).
