I bought this a couple of months ago and for the most part I'm pleased with it. I keep it hooked up to my home router all the time and have never used it for a mobile router. I did take it out in my yard once and saw speeds over 200 Mbps more than once. It's not unusual to see speeds of 130 Mbps inside my home and that's a lot better than DSL which was 6 Mbps.The only issue I have with the MR5200 is that it will drop 5G and change to 4G. I can understand it doing that if 5G is not available but if 5G is available it should reconnect to 5G on it's on but it doesn't. I can reboot the M5 or turn the power off and then back on and it will reconnect to 5G. It'll do this most every day. I ended up putting the power supply on a timer and set it to power off at 5:00 a.m. ... MoreI bought this a couple of months ago and for the most part I'm pleased with it.

It being a 5G router it should always be connected to 5G if it's available.

I bought this nighthawk 5200 for $800 from this website to use with an AT&T 5G hotspot data sim card. It didn't work. Just didn't ever connect. I contacted AT&T and got a new sim card. It didn't work. I contacted netgear but because it took me longer than 30 days to get to this, they refuse to help. I have to buy an additional "gearhead" service contract on top of the $800. The device has NEVER worked. And they want more money. What a joke. There are better devices out there, and much better companies. Netgear is not what they used to be. Avoid this product at all costs. What a waste of time and money.

I've been messing around with this device for a couple weeks now. I've worked with t-mobile engineers and I currently have a ticket open with netgear, but so far, we have not been able to get this device to work properly on T-Mobile's network. It's acknowledged by the network as a 2g device, but that's about it.Plugged in an ATT SIM and it connected no problem. For now, rating this product 2 out of 5 as we bought this device SPECIFICALLY for the ability to use it with T-Mobile but it does work with ATT.Hard to recommend a product when a major selling point of it doesn't even work (yet). I will give an updated review if this glaring issue is actually addressed and not just bounced around between Netgear and T-Mobile.

Bought the product before Thanksgiving weekend. It came in this past Saturday. The setup was easy. I didn't need a new micro sim card. All I had to do was transfer the sim card from my old mifi to this one. Please update it to the knew firmware before puting it on operation. The touch screen is laggy sometimes. It's better to use a universal stylus to operate the touchscreen. Overall, my wife is happy with the product especially the battery capacity. If you plug the charger in while the unit is off, it will automatically turn on.
I’m using mine with Sunrise subscription in places far away where no fix-cable connections exist. I tested it for 2 weeks, specially for remote work / home work. It works great, fluently, and obviously speed and latency and quality of connection strictly depends to network coverage. Please check it before with the provider. ​Easy setup and first impression with touch display who it really inaccurate is (compared to modern smartphones) or similar devices. (Touch display of iPhone 4 was much much better). I expected better precision and quality considered devices at same value / price. I set SIM PIN and it was not easy to insert it when booting device with such touch display. Hopefully SIM-unlock can be done with Netgear app or device GUI from you mobile.By ... MoreI’m using mine with Sunrise subscription in places far away where no fix-cable connections exist.

Hopefully SIM-unlock can be done with Netgear app or device GUI from you mobile.By default it automatically adjusts band selection (5G, 4G+, LTE, and so on), also during usage. I figure out this also depends on provider network cell density user count / usage bandwidth. When rolling back to 4G, that is perceivable on performance. Maybe a “5G only” option miss, with the intention to stay to 5G as far as it can.I also had the chance to try it with a Panorama Antenna DMM-7-38-2TS9 and do some speedtest. In one far away (from city) place I had following values:[Location, Ping ms, DW Mbps, UL Mbps]Inside building, 37, 94, 35Outside building, 36, 43, 60Inside building with antenna, 37, 100, 12Outside building with antenna, 29, 35, 68OK, these are numbers…. And also tests where not executed many times, it was just to have and idea. And general impression is, that using this antenna also in other places, work experience is little more fluently in latency, no timeouts. In general inside device antenna seems to be really good!I finally found this M5 device, quite expensive!!
We keep our boat in a marina on the Tennessee river near Iuka, MS. It is difficult to read emails, browse Facebook, and impossible to stream movies on the marina’s internet. We missed our nightly movie watching. Not anymore! With our Netgear Nighthawk Hotspot we can stream movies without buffering. It’s easy to setup and use. What a difference it has made for our time on the boat. I highly recommend getting one.
So far I'm very happy with the MR5200. I've only had it for a couple of weeks though. I have been the unhappy recipient of a long term power outage so this has been quite a test. ( Snowstorm packing very wet and heavy snow. Many thousands if trees and power lines down. )My 5g Samsung S20 for the first 4 or 5 days of the power outage couldnt get any internet, and the phone service wasn't great. But, even though I have AT&T for my Samsung and my Netgear, the Netgear has worked very well.When I couldnt get out with a straight shot on my phone, I was able to use WI FI phone service and that worked great. I bought a highly directional antenna for the netgear but with the massive amount of snow everywhere I haven't been able to figure out where it needs to ... MoreSo far I'm very happy with the MR5200.

I bought a highly directional antenna for the netgear but with the massive amount of snow everywhere I haven't been able to figure out where it needs to go.However, even with one bar signal strength depending on where I set the netgear, I can still get enough data speed ( even during peak hours ) to stream 1080P video.I did think I had a WI FI issue with the netgear but have found its apparently a Vudu/Fandango problem. ( I seem to be having problems I never had until Vudu merged with Fandango. )The movie "Contact" keeps giving me "slow internet" warnings. I did several speed checks and at that time I was getting 60 mbps. So no, it was NOT a internet connection issue.For experimentation reasons I tried several different movies on Vudu and only had trouble with " Contact ". But get this. If I restarted the movie from the beginning, it was fine. But if I did ANY FFWD OR REV it would hang up repeatedly after that. So never assume it's anything in particular. Experiment.Let this be a warning to those of you like myself who has 100 videos I "Own" on Vudu. I will not buy any more Vudu movies. If your internet goes down or has trouble or the service isnt working well, "YOUR" movie can be useless. Buy the Blu_Ray or 4K discs. Players are very cheap and give the best quality picture available. And if you don't "need" to have a movie right at its release date, they are cheaper than buying a movie online. Often even cheaper that renting a movie online.The battery in the Netgear lasts at least 8 hours. (I havent pushed it.) So thats a plus. On the occasion or two that I had any trouble a reboot fixed said problem. And it reboots pretty quickly.Ive been at this adress for ten years and this is the first time I've ever had fast and reliable internet. I'm in a rural area and there are few choices available.And with this recent and Id say very harsh test of power lines, trees, and I'm sure cell phone infrastructure problems, I am really so very happy with the NetgearMR5200.To repeat. The first several days of power outage, my new 5g Samsung phone was of little or no use. But even though I have the phone and the Netgear running on AT&T, the Netgear has not let me down at all. Even with a mile of snow laden trees in between me and the closest cell tower/antenna.
This is hands down the most fully-featured mobile LTE/5G router I've ever used, but in my opinion where it shines the most is not in mobile uses, but rather as a backup (or potentially even primary) network connection for home internet. Thanks to its offboarding and "Always On Wifi" functionality its possible to set this up as a backup and only use your LTE or 5g connection when your primary connection fails. The inclusion of an Ethernet port on this router is a game changer allowing it to be used for home networking in rural areas where wired home internet might not be an option. The stability has been great, and the interface is powerful and intuitive.I would happily recommend this router to anyone on the market for a 5G router.
This Hotspot is by far the best in the industry .It was easy to set up and understand the instructions (I only had to read the 1st page ).Right after putting in SIM card from my carrier ,I was up and running . I'm able to get from 288Mbps (during high traffic from the carrier ) to 675Mbps in the evening and around 800 later at night .This Hotspot is very powerful,easy to use and reliable . It is a bit pricey but it is the only one of its kind and the same type from carriers are priced about the same but you get stuck in a contract . We're also in an inflation bubble right now so everything is costing a lot more .If you are thinking about buying a Hotspot and are thinking about buying one, just do it and stop thinking about it .This guy can do a lot of things and ... MoreThis Hotspot is by far the best in the industry .It was easy to set up and understand the instructions (I only had to read the 1st page ).Right after putting in SIM card from my carrier ,I was up and running .

Stopped working after 3 months. The device will not connect to any network, despite good signal quality.Support is absent, knowledge base is inexistant.I can't check if the current firmware (NTGX55_12.04.17.00) is the latest for my MR5200-100EUS because it wont connect.I can't find any firmware to download on netgear website.I CAN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WON'T CONNECT !!
