Well the device is great, even though It wasn’t the one I ordered, I order one that says Netgear on the device, I received the one that said ATT logo. At first it took the SIM card from the other vendor ISP company, but it failed to connect to the WiFi internet, it gave me an alert that set check your settings. 🤔. I tired to contact Netgear, the SIM card vender, and even contact ATT support. What a waste of time, contacting these folks. I did research in the internet and I was able to fix the Alert. Apparently the device was still with the a ATT APN, I had to change it to the sim vender, which worked and got connected to the SIM card vender wifi internet. So folks if you brought a device like mine, once you are able to install the SIM card and get an alert first go to settings, look for APN and if it has the APN from the original vender, add the new APN from the sim vender, that will make it work for you. Over all the device works fast and able to get all bars meaning it get good and fast wifi internet connection.

Got it used and it was in better condition than I had though. It works great. Tested it with Google Fi phone sim and it was able to detect it after changing the settings on the device. It was able to register the google fi sim and get a signal without Gfi complete setup, but I finished the setup using my phone. I also signed up for Google data and am waiting for the sim to arrive to test. Currently happy with the product. The big test will be when I travel out of country. To be continued. ——- Update (one month later): traveling out of the US and using the googlefi data sim. At first the sim didn’t want to connect, but after checking on the configuration and allowing roaming, it worked like a charm! Enjoyed having access in Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands. Glad I purchased it.

It seemed good. Went to the local AT&T store to get a sim card and get set up, only to find that this device is NOT compatible with AT&T 4G. The rep in the store spend 2.5 hours with support trying to get it to work with no success. The support tech eventually concluded that this device is not compatible with AT&T 4G or 4G LTE. They put a ton of effort into it and were unable to get it working. That store had no AT&T hotspots and had encouraged me to get one on Amazon and then bring it in. I don't know if the problem was with the particular unit or with the AC797-100NAS in general. The description states is is compatible with AT&T but it was only able to connect via 3G, which AT&T is shutting off next February. The best we did was 4.8 Mbps download - horrible speed. I searched AT&T online and found a store that had TWO hotspots available. Most had none. I dashed over there with the SIM card I had bought for the other device, put it in the Unite Express 2, and it came up immediately on the 4G LTE network and the speed is blazing, plus it was $30 less than the Netgear. So, if you want to use AT&T then DO NOT BUY THE AC797-100NAS!

We bought this for a recent trip to Guatemala. AT&T wanted to charge us $10 per day per line, for our 4 lines and 10 day vacation that was $400. Bought this instead and once in Guatemala bough a chip with 40Gb of data for less than $50. This was a life saver, we even were able to connect our toddler's fire tabled and at one point shared internet with family and friends. We kept this running for 12+ hours a day and only turned it off during nights so the phones would not update the software and drain our data (very important thing to keep in mind). I wished the battery would last longer and it seems it was not accurate, sometimes we would have 2 bars and it would turn off shortly, fortunately we carried battery banks and that helped a lot. Would of loved also a USB-C port instead of the outdated micro USB. The screen is very helpful although having only 1 button to scroll made it more time consuming, wish we had more buttons or a touch screen. At the end of the day, this thing was a lifesaver and our teenage daughter wanted to have it all the time, it was well worth what we payed and aside from minor things i would totally recommend this.

I have never used a Wi-Fi hotspot before, this is my first one, and I bought it for work as I sometimes have to be on the road for appointments (insurance agent) and need access to the internet, and I don't want to always depend on having Wi-Fi available. I have an inexpensive prepaid phone service that doesn't offer mobile hotspot, so I could not use my phone. The big test on this was actually when my friend moved and had not had her internet set up yet, but needed internet for some Zoom meetings. I lent her this before I ever even used it for work. It worked perfectly, and I have not had any trouble staying connected with it.

Product worked for a bit but had an issue while I was traveling. It started saying that there was no SIM card detected which was fixed by reinserting the card. After a bit, it didn't work anymore. Took it to a repair tech and he found that the tray connections were just pressed down and not soldered, so it was easy to break. After soldering, the unit works again, but warning against iffy manufacturing. All the other functions worked well

I’m in Auckland New Zealand and have been using another cell phone (Pixel 3) to give me Wifi calling to/from the USA (with Ting sim and account). This Netgear AC 787 has improved things for me….first it maintains a constant connection with my iPhone so I don’t miss important calls from the US…but the battery life is much better than a cell phone…as you can see I had the unit constantly on for 9 hours and used 1 Gig of data over that time…and the battery life remains at 42% (started at 100%). Speed is the same…4g LTE…but connection would drop intermittently using the Pixel as the wifi source…not with the Netgear AC 797. Better connectivity…more reliable connection…better battery life…and it is smaller and lighter than my Pixel 3 or my iPhone 12 mini. Great device for mobile wifi-calling if stuck overseas and needing to be connected back home.

Great hotspot , Works great no problems, was unlocked. I only needed to install my sim.

2025juil3: Ok sur réseau Fizz. Fiabilité inconnue mais semble solide.

Buen alcance, adquirí dos y coloqué a uno chip Telcel y a otro Movistar y ambos funcionaba muy bien. Se puede administrar fácilmente al ingresar a su red. La batería dura bastante. Cine que a cada uno 10 tabletas y todos corren bien al enviar cuestionarios de Google forms.

Funciona perfecto con chip Virgin, si alguna vez no carga,,,, solo retira la pila y vuelvelo a armar, es el unico problema que presenta.

I have used a Netgear product before and liked it but was disappointed that this one was not as advertised. I had to return it and hope to get an unlocked device.

Conexión estable fácil de configurar excelente
