Not worth the purchase
sole685 Posted
This item is way overpriced. It does give you the benefit of fast mobile internet but it is dependent on signal.

If i could give it zero stars I would!

This hotspot is not unlocked! I have AT&T and purchased a sim card, just to be told by AT&T that it was not unlocked. I went to Best Buy and they said there was nothing that they could do. So if you have AT&T it WILL NOT WORK and is a complete waste of time!

Contradictions & Restrictions....
HerbalDragon Posted
Respectfully & kindfully; if to be understood accurately, this device is only compatible with T-Mobile's & AT&T's networks (makes no sense when the bandwidths are the same regardless the technology), & only reaching the nano bands within the 5G technologies.... I also read that it only produces only 2.5Gb/s (Gigabits persecond) on that 5G technology and contradicts by mentioning 3.5Gb/s, with only a 1Gb/s ethernet (WLAN) port....(questioning emoticon) Why, in any right mind is this anywhere nigh the same price as a smartphone/tablet, please....? Routers & modens are nowhere near this much.... even for specifically N securities!! Security systems are less than this for homes/buisnesses. Many of the phones BestBuy sells aren't this much.... The biggest aspects of this device are the restrictions & the price....

The Price of Bands and Lack of Certification
Deadpool Posted
This hotspot is functionally identical to the MR6110, which is sold at full retail on AT&T for less than half the cost. The difference? The MR6150 doesn't have the neutered band reductions that are unethical to begin with. So yes, it will work much better on T-Mobile and Verizon. Oh wait, except Netgear doesn't have the guts to demand Verizon certify the device, so good luck activating it. They could go to the FCC and/or court and insist it gets certified, but they can't seem to get the nerve. Consumers lose, because they can't activate it properly on Verizon without tricks and hoop jumping. I cannot in good conscience hold onto one of these. Vote with your wallet.
