Would sooo love to own this. It’s top of my list. Just bought 3 wifi routers. An Asus and 2 nighthawks. I’m keeping nh #3. 🙂

Hardware-wise, Netgear says the Nighthawk M5 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 Mobile Platform.Your NETGEAR mobile hotspot's battery, IMEI number, and SIM card slot are all beneath your hotspot's plastic battery cover. Follow these instructions to remove your hotspot's battery cover.

Overall, as a standalone access point, the Nighthawk M5 could legitimately hold its own, but I wouldn’t recommend it in a home any larger than, say 1,000 square feet, and probably not for serious gamers. Unless… The Nighthawk M5 is the first (and only) mobile router to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X55 mobile platform. In a nutshell, it supports (as per the marketing literature) 5G NR Sub 6 GHz (NSA), LTE CAT 22, LTE Advanced, 4x4 MIMO, 256QAM plus all the latest 802.11ax technology (AKA WiFi 6).

The highest speed we reached was by connecting the device to a Thunderbolt 3 port which is essentially a supercharged USB Type-C connector. We saw speeds of up to 670Mbps with the slowest recorded number higher than 500Mbps. Note that these speeds were achieved during a weekend before noon, in an area where Three says 5G speeds should be average (i.e. coverage outside, rather than inside and outside).Desktops, Monitors, Pen drives, Hard drives, Memory cards, Computer accessories, Graphic cards, CPU, Power supplies, Motherboards, Cooling devices, TV cards & Computing Components 15 Days Returnable We tested the device using an unlimited 5G data SIM from Three. As always, your mileage will vary and results may not apply to you given the large amount of variables involved - including the number of devices you connect to it (up to 32). If the Nighthawk M6 detects that your home router has gone offline, it will seamlessly switch to the cellular connection ensuring critical health, video monitoring, and smart home devices are always online.

Fast cellular speed: Support 5G the M5 can deliver Gigabit-class cellular connection. Clearly, the actual speeds will vary depending on the reception and coverage.
