I have had this device for a few weeks now and so far so good. There are a few bumps in the setup and understanding of how to get service with this device. After that, it was smooth sailing after. Some info out there said you can connect with a non-contract mobile carrier. I had no luck with that and decided to take my unlocked Hotspot to my cell provider. They inserted the SIM card in the back of the device, and I was set up. So far 50Gb has been fine even though I haven't had it for a full month yet. It will depend on how much you will use it. After, getting the SIM card the setup was fairly straightforward. You could change your passwords to get access. I used the Netgear Mobile App which was easy to use. The only thing is you have to be connected to the mobile hotspot to gain access. Can't use this app elsewhere to check when you're away. I mainly use it to connect my Google Home Mini, Google Chromecast, and Ring Stick-up Camera. When I connected my cell phone it used a lot of data alone compared to the other devices. One bad thing about this device is that the battery stinks. On a full charge, it lasted about 13 hours before I had to plug it back in. If you charge it during the night and unplug during the day it seems to be fine. Battery life may vary due to usage. This device does show a green visual bar on the left as its percentage of charge. The blue visual bar on the right is for data usage. So far with AT&T, it has not worked. Overall, I think this device works well for what I need it to be while traveling for work. I have also played a few rounds of Call of Duty Multiplayer and had no issues. Usage still varies so keep in mind.

Using this with AT&T and getting amazing coverage on the go, ethernet port makes it even better if you're using a laptop, battery life is a little lacking but overall worth the investment

We have used these Nighthawk Netgear hotspots for several of our project sites and they work great. No issues with several computers connected. This is a great device if you want something reliable.

The product never gets good speeds and thus it is essentially useless as a travel mobile hotspot. If you want to buy this to travel for longer than the 15 day return policy DO NOT BUY. We purchased this for our travels only to find out that we did not get any good or useful coverage when our phones and other devices, on the same network, worked flawlessly. Given when we got back it was past the 15 day return policy we essentially have a $200 e-waste paperweight. Should we have done more extensive testing? Sure, but you never know how it will perform in other locations for traveling until you go and do it. Technical issues: Living in a major tech hub I get full bars of 5G and 4G LTE on all my other devices for both Verizon and Google Fi. This device...2 bars of 4G LTE no matter where I travel to. Google Fi out of the box does not work without a manual APN configuration but I did that using APN "h2g2". I can connect to Google Fi but still only 2 bars. Installing a Verizon SIM card automatically detected the network and set up the APN correctly but we still never found it to get more than 2 bars of LTE. Ultimately do not buy this. Find some other cheaper product that does 4G LTE or better yet 5G.

I have had this device for over a year and completely love it. I use it in my home in another state because it is cheaper for me to hook up my security cameras to a hotspot than to pay for home internet service. The fact that this device has an Ethernet port was the primary reason I bought this because the security cameras I bought had to be plugged into a port. The device is fast and reliable.
