NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 5G Mobile Hotspot - SPEEDTEST & Review! 

I just picked one up a few days ago, I was taken back by how expensive it is compared to other hotspots, figured I could return it if I didn't like it. this thing is like carrying around a home network in your pocket. its absolutely worth the price

Best review on these device by far thank you. How does work outside the country?

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

Does it have data caps on it

Hi there would this work for live-streaming on RU-vid off the grid? Really debating on getting this. Thank you!

Do you have a comparison to the Nighthawk M1?

Could I remote in to an ERP system like Dynamics on something like this?

By chance, can you go to Settings > More > Device Information > and then let me know what the Firmware Version and Modem Version are? Thanks!

Great informative review. Well done. I'll order one

Great review! I just bought it, I'm so pumped!

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?

I tried many but this one is amazing and strong .. We just dont like its size

What about upload speeds?

How fast is the upload speed? I’m asking for gaming

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!

Says on the box can handle ipv 6 but I can’t work out how to activate it

What’s the upload speed though

is it possible to attach an outdoor wifi extender to this? need it for a bunch of devices in a large 1000ft yard

Ive brought this but it is really slow any tips?

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

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?

nice

how does it work compare to Glocalme Numen Air ?

For the SIM card could you use your own phone SIM card and put it in the netgear nighthawk m6

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

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 😎

Can you please mention about upload speed of it. Is it full-duplex?

So my question here is im out in the sticks which i only get 2 or 3 bars of 5G AT&T where i live at. I have a NightHawk i got from a friend it does good for what it does. I cant get internet out here so hotspot is what i can only do at the moment. Does anyone live in the sticks and use this for gaming? If so please comment i would love to know if its worth it to do.

Is it possible to put unlimited data? Of course with a monthly payment.

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.

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.

How much are the plans for this?

How about for console gaming may I also add what if you have unlimited data plan

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?

Can this be connected to a hotel wifi system with their login?

How long does the battery last on non stop use? Ty

Esim compatible?

great info, thx. can I purchase any sim card for this device?

what’s the best cellular service to use and do you have any hacks using visible wireless and does it work with verizon wireless?

Thanks for your video. How many hours would the battery last? Like when I am camping outside?

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

Can you connect without having to use a QR code? I want to use this for my Xbox to stream/game

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?

Could this replace a traditional internet land line connection? I have horrible internet service with spectrum, I feel like anything is better.

Does it work with a 4G WiFi?

It doesn’t support 5G ?? I didn’t get it 😅, can someone explain plz

In the USA the cellular service providers will throttle you down after a few days so it's a great device but not here.

So can I plug into wall to leave on and use an Ethernet to pc?

Do I have to get the plan with hot spot or I can just do unlimited data?

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.

How about upload speeds?

nothing but problems with mine I'm on the second one slow as speed over heats to 62c and randomly cuts off

Why the price of this is like new (expensive) phone ? Which, in turn, can also serve as a hotspot !

I don't understand how these work. How do I get internet for the cheapest price in the forest. Thanks so much for help

Will this device run if I put in my SIM card from my Verizon hotspot?

I have the m6 it’s not working for my ps5 I just wanna play my game we have no Wi-Fi

What if the T-mobile network is spotty in the area?

Would you recommend this for regular console gaming?

Would this be good for gaming? I struggle with latency online.

Anyone know if you can put an ethernet cable between the m6 (or even m5) and a pc, then use it for wireless virtual reality?

Can I use this in Vietnam? So can I put a Vietnam SIM card in here?

Can I use with desktops?

more than 1000 US Dollars in my country !!!

how do I get the sim card do I just ask my provider?

Hi there great video! I setup my hotspot but I am only getting 1-2 MBs while downloading a steam game. Do you know why it would be so slow? Thanks!

Does this work internationally ? Looking to travel to eastern countries and considered this

On AT&T and I’m barely getting 20mbs down

Why doesn't this Ethernet Port work???????

How hot does it get?

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

Mine runs so hot it makes the sim overheat and go in ‘Searching’ mode

I just got this and my speeds not go over 25-30 Mbps but on my old 4g unit i get 60-70

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.

Sooo if I’m using an ethernet cord do I need a sim for the device

1:06 Pause

Pls can this also support 4G ?

Why use this instead of your phones hotspot?

I like Turtles.

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?

Are you aware of an high speed 5G wireless internet plan with no data Capps?

U DIDN'T SHOW HOW TO PUT THE SIM CARD IN BUDDY AND SLOW DOWN WITH THE EXPLANATIONS ..

$1000 AUD... That's a no from me dawg

It's too expensive

This is nothing believe me I waisted 860 on this shit

Background: I run three Androids: 2 OnePlus 9 phones and two Galaxy S-8+ tablets (one has its own sim card for $20 mo), also 2 Windows10/11 Desktops and 1 laptop-- off of T-Mobile Home Internet 5G Wi-fi 6 and NO service obligation. We have 40GB of mobile hotspot per phone with our service- for top speed, but speed drops down after the max hotspot quota I'm told, we haven't maxed out so far. I did add cheap $18 USB WiFi Adapters, 1200Mbps, XDO Dual Band OFDM 2.42GHz 5.8GHz/867Mbps,802.11 to each Desktop PC that enables super fast speed, averaging 900GB dwnld and 200+GB upload off T-Mobile Internet to which I also added a cheap WAVLINK 1200Mbps WiFi Router costing $29. T-Mobile home internet is a flat $50 a month. my Android phones on their own run at 500GB dwnld and over110 upload, tested with Fast.com and Ookla SpeedTest. As I understand it, with this Netgear M6 5G device you still need 5G Sim card service, and Mobile hotspot data available on your phone, right? I invested a total $65 in hardware. Each phone carries full replacement insurance plus the extra sim card and 40+40GM hotspot on our plan. All this costs me $208 total per month "Including Internet Service". We are on their Magenta plan. I already use my phones when we RV with Tablet hotspot, and we can cast to a UHD TV for streaming w/o loading issues. (My prev cable Internet service cost $78 per month and two phones $45 each with 4G LTE service and 5GB hotspots that never topped 100GB.) My question is how will this $700 Nighthawk M6 5G Mobile Hotspot improve that?
