NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 Pro Mobile Hotspot 5G mmWave, 8Gbps, Unlocked, AT&T & T-Mobile, International Roaming, Portable WiFi Device for Travel, 5G Modem Wireless Router (MR6500) (Renewed)

Picked up the AT&T M6 Pro unlocked for my deployment. It works, but there are a couple of caveats. Even though it’s unlocked, the AT&T variant doesn’t support as many bands as the non-branded version. For example, it will show 5G on T-Mobile, but it won’t actually let you use T-Mobile’s 5G bands. Same overseas — it connects fine, but only on LTE since it doesn’t support the local carriers’ 5G bands.That said, the condition was excellent and exactly as described by the seller. For the price I paid, it’s still a solid deal. If I had the choice again, I’d still buy it.TL;DR: Great value and works well, but the AT&T variant is limited on 5G band support, so expect mostly LTE on non-AT&T carriers.

This product works for a short time, but over heats, drops your devices internet connections regularly, and have little product support. If I had any other options for what I must use this produce for I would choose the Other. I would toss this in the garbage.

So I was going to go on a deployment, however, I did not want to spend nearly 1k on one of these things and wanted to get 5 G access, hence me buying this refurbished one. I thought, worst case was that I just returned it. It was annoying to set up, had to look up the manual and set it from nrbroadband to broadband, but once I did, I could swap my SIM card from my phone to this and get wifi consistently. Some thingremember mind that the speed relies heavily on your data plan and LOS to cell towers. If your phone can get a good signal, likely this will too. Currently, I have to keep mine near a window, and I consistently reach 100 Mbps. I've used it to download AND play games, even FPS games. This solution is only for non-permanent wifi necessities while you're moving around. For me, I would have had to buy barracks wifi to get internet or refill hotspot data again and again. This is a great solution for that. I would not use this in place of something like Starlink, cabled internet, or even wifi from buildings (unless bad, like where I am writing this.)This works best if you are:Traveling (1 week to a few months)Have a good DataplanNeed a consistent and reliable internetwill be in places with good cell receptionThe device itself was fine, I had no issues with it. Though with these being refurbished, your results may vary.

I bought this for a connection at a rural ranch for Wifi via Mint Mobile. It was unlocked AT&T device and didn't take long to setup and get working. I did find the following: 1. Very power hungry so battery isn't useful for long. I keep it plugged in at our cabin. 2. Wifi was weak so I turned off the wifi and paired it with a Eero 6E+ and now it has range and great speed. I use it just as a modem to get connected to 4G/5G. This has worked really well for my use case.

The device came in retail packaging. It powered up OK but the interface was in Spanish at first. It's confusing because you can't change the language in the menus. You have to go into the settings to Factory Reset. As it restarts it gives you the option to switch to English.The Samsung power adapter that was included works as expected. It switches from 5V to 9V. A regular 5V adapter might not work since it seems to need 9V for the high power mode (2.5G Ethernet, WiFi 6, and extended WiFi range).Some reviewers complain that it needs to restart when you change modes. This is normal for this type of device. It only takes about a minute to restart. Also, you need to take out the battery for the high power mode. I think it gets too hot in that mode and the battery can get damaged.I'm hoping this things lasts. I got the extended warranty just in case. Mine is labeled AT&T but hopefully it's unlocked since I want to use T Mobile. I'll find out tomorrow.The WiFi range isn't the best, but for such a tiny device it's not bad. I'll just be using it for my office and as a backup for livestreaming. The range would likely be better with antennas.I'm happy I was able to get this device for such a low price. Such a great deal. No other device has all the features of this one, but $999 is to much to pay for a new one.

The hotspot was either not unlocked or was stolen, and, despite the description, does not and will not work on Verizon. Total lie in the description and had to return it (after a week of investigation by Verizon) because it could not be used

Purchased a refurb in "excellent" condition and it is. It's spotless, has all the port covers and the battery charged to 100% without an issue. It also works perfectly. I've since bought a backup new Netgear battery for travel to swap if needed and a couple 30gb 5G sim cards so I don't have to start a new data plan.Totally worth the investment at a massive savings vs the exact same new one.UPDATE:I typed the device 15 digit IMEI number to add a hotspot new account on AT&T and it said there was an "outstanding bill" associated with the device! This doesn't seem to matter if I used a pre-paid sim card though, but what a surprising reality.Refurbished Netgear Nighthawk on Amazon has outstanding AT&T bill associated with it?
