Pros & Cons
Pros
This product is a no-brainer for me. It delivers as it is advertised. This is ideally what i would recommend something like this for, a backup.
Tp-link ac1750 archer a7 is stable as a primary internet connection. Works flawlessly with my mx64 and google fi as the lte provider. Tells my gateway to utilize the next wan at so-and-so address when fiber dies.
The access point works as a broadband base station. It also offers a cellular fallback for when broadband is down. It's easy to use and can be configured in about 20 minutes.
Cons
It works for the first two days when i unplug the cable coming from the modem. I've gotten new sims, did all firmware updates and tried every tweak in the book and this is still unusable. You have to reset it each time it drops lte.
Netgear ime is not compatible with verizon's 4g network. Only verizon supports the units ime. Verizon sees the imei flapping and they lockout the device until you contact them. Verizon's internet devises are a joke!
The nighthawk app that come with it is helpful to get started but it wouldn't stop sending me blank notifications. But cudy has no app. Is it that netgear doesn't think home users are subject to hackers, script kiddies, and identitiy theft?

Packaging/appearance
Locked in on a tower from inside a brick house, in a room that my cell phone won't work.
Competitiveness
The compatibility with major carriers such as at&t, t-mobile, and verizon adds to the appeal of this modem.
It was much faster than hughes net and cheaper.
I was unable to activate my lm1200 cellular modem because i do not have a cell phone account actually with verizon - but a subs... Read More
To do so you must have a current cell phone account or become a cell phone customer with verizon or at&t specifically and not o... Read More

I was trying to use this as a secondary wan connection on an opnsense router and setting this modem to bridge mode causes the ethernet connection to drop every minute or so

Updating to the newest firmware does not fix this issue
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
After searching for a possible solution this is apparently a known issue with this modem
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The only fix is to set the modem to router mode and be forced to take a private ip on your wan interface of the downstream router

This isnt mission critical so the double nat isnt a huge a deal for me currently looking for a possible replacement but for others it might be a performance deal breaker
