    Works amazingly well. We chose an att carrier which cost 60.00 month. No lagging what so ever. Streams netflix,amazon and hulu. Connected all our devices with no problem. Extremely easy set up out of the box. A must for cord cutters such as us. Highly recommend!

    Unit works great and connects all our devices (8) in our RV. Between laptops, tablets and streaming devices this hotspot has really worked well for us. Connected it to AT&T through OTR Mobile and getting unlimited data for $60/month. Easy to setup and change settings. Battery life is really good as well.

    I live in a just right out of regular internet (wired) services. AT&T cell service has a tower close to my house. I get 4-5 bars of signal with this unit. I have the WIFI disabled on this unit and have it plugged into my own router. This unit runs my whole house (35 devices) with NO issues.

    I was previously using AT&T Velocity hotspot. I was recommended this hotspot by technowzi.com to use with their unlimited data plan, I finally have very good speeds with my unlimited data. Purchase well worth it. Btw Ethernet works great and I have my Orbi system setup with this to provide coverage in all areas in my 3000 sq. ft house with basement.

    This product performs as advertised. I love it. I now have internet even in a rural area. Pairs nicely with a cell phone signal booster. Works well without the booster tho. The only problem is, if there is ever an issue, NetGear tech support is a joke/unresponsive/incompetent.

    Fast modem/router that can handle both 2.4 and 5ghz signals simultaneously! I have yet to utilize the Ethernet port but I’m sure I will be satisfied. The only other thing I could use is to be able to extend the range on this which is my next project. Easy to use though. I had it running within minutes.

    This is the best MiFi available from AT&T. Great cellular reception and speed. Great WiFi for attached users. The Ethernet port adds a lot of flexibility. Battery life is great, but does not last 20 hours as advertised.

    This device works great as a backup internet access device for a rural location, fairly decent (15-20 Mbps) with 1-2 bars signal.

    Found this to be user friendly and with display it allows easy constant monitoring of data use approaching your data limit. However ATT max plan limit is 15GIG for this device, which is not enough. Another ATT hub allows 50 or 100 gig plan limits so I switched to that device, without the convenient data and battery screen.

    This hotspot is easy to use, holds charge for almost a whole day with multiple devices connected. The screen display is great and easy to read. So small and compact it will fit pretty much wherever you need it to!

    Use at Home, Automobile, or Anywhere with a Cellular connection to connect to the Internet with fast speeds! The only difficult part is setting up the unit which takes about 20 minutes for a novice user. After setup is complete your devices will automatically connect when you are in range just like your home WiFi Connection.

    Awesome LTE Router with Decent Range

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Since we live in an area where we cannot get cable internet, we have been using LTE for the past 4 years. Once our old LTE router died on us, I needed a replacement same day so I ran over to Bestbuy and picked this up. It is a little pricey, but it is packed with features and incredibly easy to use especially with the app. Highly recommend for those who can't get cable internet and have had issues with satellite internet. If you are a heavy user like my family is, you will need to purchase a truly unlimited data package online. You can find valid resellers on eBay for no more than $75 a month for truly unlimited data with no caps or throttleing.

    I've had several other wifi hotspots in the past, and this one is by far the best of them. Just wish I could find someone who offers Unlimited High Speed Internet without breaking the wallet.

    Bought for my parents who can’t get home internet and they love it. Speeds are good and if you have a night house it has an Ethernet port to extend the signal to another router

    I have been using this for about a month and have checked speed tests throughout the day. I also took a trip and used in in the vehicle to check areas as I travelled from Colorado to Illinois and performed great and depending on the area had very fast speeds. I am using this with OTR who uses AT&T services and wanting to have something with unlimited data while traveling. I would recommend this item.

    Simple setup. Easy to connect. Speed tested and compared with cable. Jury is still out. There are times that download and upload beats my cable. Depends on position of towers and other loads on the cable. How it works while traveling is yet to be seen.

    I had this hotspot for over a month. I’d been running my entire house with it. Cameras, WiFi, televisions, smart home. It runs like a champ. It’s far from perfect and I’m getting better speeds on my phone. But once I figured out how to lock bands...it was a game changer. I recommend this router to anyone hands down. Battery is ridiculously good. 10-12 hours on hard ore usage. Compact, fair WiFi signals, crappy software.

    It's an okay device. It was very easy to set up and get going. Even set up my AT&T prepaid account online so I didn't have to deal with any sales people. Unfortunately, I am going to have to return it because it doesn't get very good coverage where we will be living. We bought this to use in our RV but we barely got any reception. Using my phone as a hotspot seems to work just as good and the reception is better because it is not AT&T.
