Pros

Netgear nighthawk mobile hotspot is a decent product that offers reliable performance as a portable hotspot. The unit itself is quite compact measuring a couple of inches per side. This router is really a good option for students on a tight budget. It...  Read More

The nighthawk app is clunky and pointless. Vlans are nice, but they don't help if one can still access the router via the nighthawks app.

Nice fast and efficient router with good range!

Competitiveness


Yes, the price is higher than most other 5g hotspots, but i think the higher price is worth having no compromises in quality and features.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Consumer cellular does not yet sell mobile hotspot units but they can provide a sim for an unlocked unit with no guarantees of course


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Cc usually uses att or tmobile networks so we had hopes for the netgear device


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    We took a chance on this netgear device when the inseego jetpack unit from verizon crashed and burned 2 days after moving it over


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Conspiracy theories aside the inseego unit was great but gave us grief with the consumer cellular sim right off the bat


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One inseego unit is still working dont know why


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But the second inseego unit is now ready for recycling


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    We may yet have to upgrade the remaining inseego unit well see if it crashes
