Pros & Cons
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
Tested at home indoors and was getting 144mbps download on one device (my laptop) the modem is very advanced. Max is about 260 mb/sec that i have clocked. In the philippines, even in a spot where i get 220mbps down on my phone, this hotspot caps out a... 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.
As-is, this thing doesn't function as a 5g modem for your network. Never got over 45 mbps. Went to staple's and found linksys for less money. It says there are 4x 1g ethernet ports, but it says 5 10/100 mbpsthat is not 1gig ports!

Price

Got the netgear unit within hours from amazon, thankfully.
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.
