Had wanted this particular model of hotspot. When I was able to get one, I got 2. Have not been disappointed. I live in a somewhat rural area near an airport.With the one I had before, I used to lose connection everytime planes passed over or even big trucks passed by with their cb radios. This one keeps the connection, no problems.The speed is great and so is the ease of use. I definitely recommend it. When I can, I will move up to the next model when I can afford to. But for now, this one is more than capable of handling my uploading and downloading needs.

Ok, First thing I should add is that I also bought and used the antenna which you can get for this. Never really used it without so I can’t comment on it’s connectivity without it - but if you are going to get it it strikes me as a given you would use it with the antenna (which can be stuck to a window).I feel I’ve used this in all circumstances as I have to move around a lot for work, and I can’t tolerate a connection that is below 20MBit/s and expect the norm to be much higher.Fortunately I can say that this is the case in the areas I’ve used it.One place I stayed literally within line of sight of a rural 4G tower, and got nearly 100MBit/S most of the time (so no MIMO in this case I’m fairly sure, just a single strong connection was delivering that - if you ... MoreOk, First thing I should add is that I also bought and used the antenna which you can get for this.

In other locations where there may be multiple connections but no decent 4G it never drops below 20MBit/s but often manages 40+ even if it says it’s only 3G. I’ve also used the Ethernet port to connect it to a router to cover an entire house in preference do the standard ADSL which was available there. I’ve never been forced to use it where there was little or no coverage, but in such a case I can hardly expect a fast connection anyway. My plan is unlimited fortunately, so when I get home I add it to my network set up to offload data - although with an unlimited plan I don’t need to worry as it may as well be a parallel connection, and it has noticeabley boosted my (already fast) connection.It’s fairly straightforward to use, you access it’s settings though a browser and app, although more can be refined through a browser connection on a PC.The only downside is that on it’s own it provides a fairly weak WiFi hotspot - so unless you’re close (in which case you may as well be wired to it by Ethernet or USB unless you need multiple connections) it’s only going to work well for a house if you add a router - but then, provided you have the mobile connection, it can be very good. I realise unlimited data plans are expensive or unusual at a lower cost, but if you lived near a 4G tower this (connected to a router) would challenge most VDSL connections (or fiber to the cabinet, copper last mile - or in my case 200 yards, I can see it out my window and would love to run some fiber to replace this ridiculous bottleneck). In summery, very happy with it. It’s proven extremely useful, and can make you think you’re back home with a nice stable fast connection (coverage dependant).Also, it charges via a single USB C data/power port, what comes in the case is a USB A to USB C cable, and charging block which operates at 5V/2A. It has a removable and replaceable battery and a nice feature is its battery conservation mode (which you don’t need to worry about from a connection continuity point of view) when you leave it plugged in for a sustained period.

My new MR1100 router has been a dream to use. I have previously had set up, configuration, log in and mechanical/hardware issues with many different routers in the past. I had expected this to be a good router as far as function goes, which it by far and away is, however I also expected to have to fight through at least one of the issues mentioned above before being able to get to that great functionality. Boy let me tell you was I pleasantly surprised. The MR 1100 was basically plug and play simple and I didn’t have even so much as a mild hiccup when setting it up. No hair pulling, or crying or device throwing. All that to say, if there is anything that could beat the MR1100’s performance, it’s not another router, it’s the ease of set up and instillation.

This hotspot device works well for the purpose we bought it for -- as a replacement for our previous Novatel MiFi device, which finally died after 4 years, to give us wifi at home. High-speed or even slow-speed wifi is not available at our address through either of the local service providers or satellite as we live in a heavily wooded semi-rural area of Alaska. The Nighthawk M1 works off a cell signal, which fortunately we do have access to at home, to provide internet for multiple devices in our home (at least until we run out of hotspot data for the month, then it slows way down, and streaming anything becomes impossible). The device is dependent on having a hotspot plan and a sim card from a provider, which we already did when we bought it. It was easy enough to ... MoreThis hotspot device works well for the purpose we bought it for -- as a replacement for our previous Novatel MiFi device, which finally died after 4 years, to give us wifi at home.

I bought this to replace the old one thst i had for like 6 years. This one was so frustrating to set up. Im not an IT person. The last one i had all i did was plug it in. This thing disconnects constantly. Looks like it gets a great signal but unless im in the same room it is touch and go. I live rurally. My 10 year old hates it and ask me all.the time why I switched, begs me to get the other one back. It throws him off his PS4 constantly. We then have to manully reconnect. Its very frustrating. It says up to 20 things cam be connected. Thats wrong. We msy have 3-5 and it gives me constant trouble. I would love to send this back and get my .money back and go back to the box i had....like seriously!
This is the 2nd one of these MR1100 Routers I've owned. The product is state of the art, has the ability of adding 2 antennas, truly works on all carriers currently running mint mobile, Netgear's customer service is 5 stars for sure. They are persistent in finding answers and calling back. In following up to be assured the question or concern has been addressed. I can't say enough good things about this company! They really have it together across the board.Thank you Netgear and your team! Job well done. I can't wait to be able to upgrade to the M5 5500 PRO! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
I got this router because I wanted a mobile internet solution for my devices that wasn't dependent on my place of employment's WiFi (and, more specifically, browsing rules). However, there are some pretty major caveats that you need to keep in mind before purchasing this.Firstly, you need to have a data plan, which means swinging by for a sim chip to throw in this bugger. Based on my research, if you cap the data plan for this device it'll throttle your data speed for this and all other devices on that plan, so you're likely gonna wanna keep it away from your phone plan. Getting the data plan to work wasn't plug-and-play, in my circumstance there was a promotion going on for the data plan that I got but what they fail to tell you is that the data plan will reject ... MoreI got this router because I wanted a mobile internet solution for my devices that wasn't dependent on my place of employment's WiFi (and, more specifically, browsing rules).

Based on my research, if you cap the data plan for this device it'll throttle your data speed for this and all other devices on that plan, so you're likely gonna wanna keep it away from your phone plan. Getting the data plan to work wasn't plug-and-play, in my circumstance there was a promotion going on for the data plan that I got but what they fail to tell you is that the data plan will reject your device if its not a piece of hardware that the ISP wants to provide, so I had to go through a grueling troubleshooting process just to get the thing to work.The good news is, once it works, it works pretty alright. I have a 4G LTE plan with T-Mobile and my download speeds are typically somewhere between 60 - 120 Mbps, with upload speeds of somewhere between 20 - 25 Mpbs. My speeds are atrocious at my place of residence (1 - 2 Mbps download), but thankfully that's not where I intended to use this device.Unfortunately, it can be cost-prohibitive depending on what you want to use it for. The plan that I selected was 50 GB of 4G data for $55 a month with unlimited throttled data after that. I don't know what the throttling data speeds are but from what I've read, they're not good. If you do streaming and heavy downloading then I could easily see running out of data in a single sitting.Other than that, the device works well. Its got a high battery life and transmits its signals well. You can download an app which is very robust and gives you a lot of control. You can even put a micro SD in it and use it as a mini network file storage, or be used as a mini power bank to power/recharge other devices. The only reason I'm not giving this product a much lower rating is because the troubles that I've experienced I can't really fault against the device; it does what it's supposed to do.That said, it IS getting a lower rating because the customer support IVR and team is HORRENDOUS. T-Mobile put more effort into troubleshooting this and was more knowledgable about this device then NETGEAR staff did and it isn't even T-Mobile's device, which is embarrasing. My advise to Netgear would be to upgrade their IVR system, get off the discount remote support and invest in some real remote support specialists.Pros- Trasmits strong signal- High download speeds with good plan- Robust Mobile App- Multi-use (Power bank + Home File Storage)- Can be used as a router if plugged into a modemCons- Expensive ($320 - $350 price tag)- Customer support non-existant- Cost prohibitive, read: DEVICE IS NOT A ONE-TIME INVESTMENT, NEEDS DATA PLAN- Most likely will be faced with difficult initial set-up and troubleshooting- Primary usage is niche (mobile internet)
Without high speed internet for 6 & 1/2 yrs til this came along. Our personal hotspot worked better than Hughesnet, but it was all crawling speed. You have to get the right plan with a sim card from you cell company...a personal hotspot plan on a sim will be targeted & shut down. There's unlimited-limited and there's unlimited-unlimited. Got to pay ATT or Verizon more for the right sim card (we do a business plan for like $65 monthly), and it works wonders with 1 bar of reception.A cell phone booster will not work for this like it does on cell phones. Our's did not and in fact slowed down our internet speed. To our knowledge you'll need at least 1 bar of service without a booster antenna. Then you'll want a MIMO antenna. MIMO is completely different than cell ... MoreWithout high speed internet for 6 & 1/2 yrs til this came along. Our personal hotspot worked better than Hughesnet, but it was all crawling speed.

MIMO is completely different than cell booster antenna although they look the same. Don't buy the MIMO laptop one from Netgear unless you can't mount a big one outside. Little laptop clip on Mimo antenna from Netgear works fine taking speed from 5Mbps to 10-20Mbps, but a big 2x2 MIMO antenna from Waveform will really increase your speed. With the MIMO external Waveform we went from about 5mbps to 50....sometimes 80. My only knock on the Netgear Nighthawk is that the input receptors for the MIMO antenna are weak. They do not hold the input jacks very well at all. You have to insert the bulky wired MIMO antenna jacks gently and position the little Nighthawk we're it doesn't move or the jacks will slip right out. It's a problem we happily deal with. Position your Nighthawk central to all wifi devices. The further you get away from it the slower the speed. It does work well though for the desperate. Thinking about cancelling our Starlink now.
Using this for Internet access on my boat. I live in a rural area of Oklahoma and have a 36 foot Carver Aft Cabin on Lake Tenkiller. I have a couple of TV's, stereo's and of course everyone has their tablets and phones on the boat. Cell service in this area is spotty at-best. I can get one bar of 4G service with my Verizon phone, and my wife can get two bars with her AT&T phone. When in the slip, no signal at all. Thought I would give this device a try. I added in a 36 dBi gain antenna to this using the two antenna connectors, and even in the slip I get 3 bars of signal with a 36 Mb/s download and 8 Mb/s upload. Everything streams great regardless of where I am on the lake or in the slip. The external antenna makes all the difference. As a note, my external antenna ... MoreUsing this for Internet access on my boat. I live in a rural area of Oklahoma and have a 36 foot Carver Aft Cabin on Lake Tenkiller.

Everything streams great regardless of where I am on the lake or in the slip. The external antenna makes all the difference. As a note, my external antenna is suction-cupped to a side window to get that signal. I have tested it mounted outside, and in that situation I get 5 full-bars, but since 3-bars is sufficient, I keep it mounted inside. If you are going to keep it plugged in like I do, suggest just removing the battery as it gets hot if plugged in all the time. I highly suggest this. My service provider is Pure Talk Wireless, and when I put my SIM Card in the device, it worked fine. I did make some tweaks to get a little better throughput at the suggestion of the Pure Talk Wireless support team, but while it helped a little, it wasn't 100% necessary. If you aren't technically savvy (I am), don't worry, you should still be able to set this up. If you are a "techie", plenty of tweaks you can make to improve things in the settings.
I'm making use of this router daily. The size is excellent (small enough to fit in your pocket) and the router itself is very simple, with a single button on top, and readable screen that shows your gb usage and connectivity, battery life, etc.. It's very easy to use. The only issues I have with it are that it seems to overheat easily (even in an air conditioned room), and that the battery does not last all day. If it gets hot, it will not charge. So the overheating battery makes the battery drain lower, and you can't charge it if you need to (using for work) unless you manually cool it down (I'm using lunch box ice packs). There were some connectivity issues which I think were mainly lag and distance related. Overall I'm content with this device and really hope it ... MoreI'm making use of this router daily.

So the overheating battery makes the battery drain lower, and you can't charge it if you need to (using for work) unless you manually cool it down (I'm using lunch box ice packs). There were some connectivity issues which I think were mainly lag and distance related. Overall I'm content with this device and really hope it lasts, and hope I can use it unplugged on a trip one day in a hotter area.
