Q: Once the device is paid for at $12.78 per month for 36 months, how is the internet billed?
A: It’s much better to pay for it and switch to a prepaid plan. More data for less money.
Q: Will this work for PlayStation and other game steaming?
A: I play on xbox live just fine playing fps but it depends on the celll service in your area
Q: Does this device provide 4G LTE service in areas where 5G is unavailable?
A: Yes, if 5G isn’t available then it falls back to 4G LTE.
Q: Can this device be used without the battery and only plugged in to electric service?
A: Yes, it works without the battery or with the battery it works both ways
Q: Does this device has to have a internet card/ or data plan? Do the plans start @ 25.00 to 75.00?
A: Yes, it needs a data plan/SIM card to work. If you purchase through the installment plan there are various data tiers at different price points. You can also pay the full price of the hotspot then use a prepaid SIM card inside the device. This is the method I use since I only use the hotspot on trips and add money to the prepaid account when needed. $35 gets you 15GB on the prepaid plan The SIM card is inside the device under the battery.
Q: Does it have the capability to plug in a USB-to-ethernet adapter so I can use it with wired devices?
A: You can usb tether or go ethernet to ethernet connection. But do not updated the firmware because they have been having problems with freezing alot
Q: Is this good enough for work from home and teams meetings?
A: I use my Nighthawk M6 Pro to remote in to our server to work from home and it works great. I don't do teams meetings, but I do use Zoom meetings and it works fine. The only problem is when AT&T slows your data claiming excessive use, which they do at a fairly low threshold even though we pay for the highest tier business unlimited plan. When we purchased the Nighthawk, Starlink was not available in our area. Considering the cost of the Nighthawk ($460) vs the cost of the Starlink equipment ($600), I would go with Starlink because it's not much more and there is no throttling of data. Even though we already purchased the Nighthawk, we're considering changing because AT&T constantly throttles the data, even for an allegedly unlimited plan. I've heard very good things about Starlink but have not tried it.
Q: I have a ATT account and Sim card.. Can I purchase this box and be able to access my account...???
A: Yes, if you have a micro mini card..
