Ho comprato questo router poichè la zona dove abito non è raggiunta da qualità di fibra molto scarsa (circa 14Mb di portante in Down e 1Mb in UP) e devo dire che il problema della velocità è stato risolto completamente. Come gestori telefonici per la SIM ho provato sia WindTre che Vodafone e con entrambi ho avuto risultati ottimi, toccando punte di oltre 200Mb in down e 40Mb in up. Queste velocità sono giustificate dalla capacità del router di agrregare più bande essendo un CAT 20. Così come gli smartphone anch'esso è basato su ricezione di segnale mobile pertanto il posizionamento all'interno delle abitazioni e l'orientamento rispetto al ripetitore incidono sulle prestazioni. Utilizzandolo come router per la rete di casa per guadagnare ulteriormente qualcosa in termini di velocità ho collegato 2 antenne formato TS9 alle relative porte e collegato i miei pc tramite l'uscita gigabit ad uno switch che mi distribuisce la connessione. E' comunque dotato di ottima connettività wifi per chi preferisce, è possibile impostare le frequenze di utilizzo se 2,4GHz, 5GHz o entrambe; per una gestione migliore della batteria è preferibile utilizzarne solo una. A livello di configurazione LAN non ha nulla da invidiare ai tradizionali router, compreso l'inoltro delle porte e il servizio NAT per chi ha necessità. Il prezzo è importante ma per chi ha necessità di una connessione prestante in zone mal servite penso sia una delle soluzioni migliori, è una spesa che si ammortizza piacevolmente e i contratti per le sim dati ormai sono molto competitivi. Ultimo pregio, è un Netgear ! Read more

This box is portable, lightweight and charges via a usb charging cable type C. You need to purchase separately a data SIM card. I have used Amazon and purchased an unlimited data card for 30 days which works on the O2 network. I had a mobile on O2 so I knew there was a signal. My wife’s mobile was Vodafone and again there was a signal. If there is no signal this box will not work. This box works only on the 4G band. There is a different box for 5G. This box is a mobile 4G Router and works very well indeed. So good it will easily cope with 4 people browsing the web. For me a massive plus is that you can stream Netflix and other TV services without it needing to pause and catch-up ie buffering. I have not needed to purchase an external Ariel as this is built in and omni directional so no need to point at the nearest 4G mast but it works best on a high shelf so I think height may give a better line of sight for the signal. Once you open the box and charge the unit fully you need to prize open the back to insert the SIM card. Remember copper contacts down so they engage the contacts in the box. You then switch the unit on and wait for it to go through its startup routine. The button on the front panel is a touch sensitive type so there is no movement or click. You have to complete a short form on the display. You input the name of the unit and the APN. One SIM supplier included this info with the SIM card. Another had to be emailed for it. This came back within the day so no problem. My APN was Mobile.O2.Co.uk and you have to message them to enable the sim and this only happens during the working day! Once it’s enabled the button glows blue when you touch it and the display shows O2 and up and down arrows. Not difficult to set up. My sim only lasts 30 days and up to 7 days before I can renew on online. I have missed this several times. Usually at the weekend! Happy streaming Read more

Utilisant fréquemment une connexion mobile nomade, j’ai acquis ce modèle pour ses performances et je ne regrette pas. Affichage rapide des pages, téléchargements rapides. Par rapport à mon précédent modèle, c’est le jour et la nuit concernant les débits. Points forts : - Facilité d’installation et de configuration (tout se fait directement sur l’écran). - Support de multiples connexions en parallèles (testé avec plus de 10 appareils en simultané). - Performance en 4G excellente (vitesse d’affichage, comme le débit). - 3 types de connexions possibles : Wifi, USB, Ethernet - Fonctionnalité de relai en cas de panne de votre internet à domicile. - Très bonne autonomie sur batterie (la journée sans problème). - Mise à jour de firmware accessible et simple. - Peut servir de powerbank. - Bonne stabilité. Point à améliorer (par mise à jour de firmware) : - Fonctionnalités du firmware un peu chiches pour un produit à ce prix. - Pas d’attribution manuelle d’adresse IP. - Impossible de ne pas afficher les éléments de connexions wifi (possibilité de les masquer, mais en cliquant dessus, il est facile de les voir). - Portée wifi limitée, y compris lorsqu’il est connecté sur secteur. Couvre la pièce où il se situe et les pièces périphériques, mais difficilement plus (pas trop grave pour un routeur portable). - Impossible de configurer un réseau 2,4 ghz et 5 ghz avec le même SSID. Points faibles : - Surface brillante. C’est joli, mais elle se raye facilement et on y voit toutes les traces de doigts. - Couvercle d’accès à la batterie / la SIM un brin fragile. - Ecran tactile capricieux. - Absence de support de l’esim (SIM classique supportée). - Tarif trop élevé.

You get what you pay for.the battery lasts all day and is super quick no matter how many devices I connect to it Read more

it's really best Read more

It is very friendly user and easy to handle, but the battery runs down very fast, I have to recharge it twice or sometime three times a day. Read more

"very Poor Quality" battery keeps on draining and stops working will be returning the product for a refund Read more

I have had this for over 1 year and it works well. Dont keep in in direct sunlight or it will get very hot. However I have to say when I search for a newer version for 5G this device was highlighted. THIS DEVICE IS NOT 5G. Netgear have not released the 5G version as yet on their website NIGHTHAWK® M5 Mobile Router (MR5200). My experience with the 4G one I will upgrade depending on the cost.

The only issue after using the product for 10 days now is the heat issue; once the Router temp. is high it wont charge even if you plug it. until it cools down the battery will start charging, which sometimes is not convenient specially if you are on the move. the second issue is the battery indicator doesn't have the battery percentage only a bar which is a misleading, you will only know the exact battery percentage if you log on to the software on your cell phone. Overall am happy with the product. 7/10 Read more

I work offshore where there is almost weak signal to sometimes no signal, yet the NETGEAR still is capable of getting a signal and a good one. Definitely worth the price and would definitely recommend this. Read more

I received the product and it was good, there was no problem and it works perfectly Read more
