My 4G connection is slow in my area, I purchased this and connected 4G sim it doubles the speed on 4G itself. I'm planning to purchase 5G plan will post you accordingly but no STC coverage.

This device simply works great for what I need it for. I got the AT&T $55/month pre-paid for 100GB and literally put in the SIM, selected the correct APN (its basically the address the data gets routed through) and was off to the races! I got true 5G when I was in major cities - blazing fast!! But outside of that it was mainly 4G speed. Was still fast enough for me to get data on my phone (I live overseas so use this while in the States to do VOIP calling and surfing. Cheaper than getting whole family a calling plan). It was fast enough for my kids to surf while we drove cross country as well. They do Roblox and YouTube mainly. The unit I kept plugged in mostly while driving, so had no issues with discharging. When I carried it for use while walking and inside a house, the battery lasted 24-36 hours with moderate use. I recommend this for anyone who wants an easy to use 5G capable hotspot. I did not get a free product or rebate for giving my review. It is purely of my own opinion.

First, I have another hotspot already. Well it's a Tplink travel router with a Huawei 4G USB Stick plugged into its USB port. It's worked fine for years but recently I've relocated from CA to TX and I'll be working from my RV for about 60 days. My Huawei 4G stick was barely getting LTE speeds so I looked for another solution. I purchased this router, in hopes that I could get speeds good enough to work without any issues. This mobile hotspot really came through with unbelievable speeds and very stable to boot. I also ordered the AT&T 5G nano sim here on Amazon. Search "AT&T 5G TRIPLECUT SIM". Although activating the SIM was an absolute nightmare (AT&T activation process gets ZERO stars), this hotspot was a breeze to setup. I really appreciated being able to pop in the battery, turn it on and configure the entire router from the touchscreen ON THE unit itself. I completed the finer points of setup using a web browser. I did absolutely nothing to configure the AT&T 5G. After activating the SIM, the router connecting to 5G automatically and all of my devices get stable and fast internet. I've got a laptop, 3 tablets, 2 phones, a Google Chromecast and a couple of other random devices all connected to this router via WiFi. Streaming HD (and probably 4k) YouTube is no problem. Spotify and other streaming services are strong on all the devices as well. So what's the final conclusion? It's pricey but if you need fast stable 5G for your WiFi devices, you won't find a better device.

Yes, it's true, this unit will work on the Verizon network. However, entering the IMEI number into Verizon's site will show that this unit is not compatible. **Workaround** Since I already had a Verizon MiFi Jetpack, I took that active SIM card and put it into the Netgear unit. Initially, I tried using my SIM from an iPad. It DID work, but I got alerts from Verizon that the SIM had been moved. Once I used my hotspot SIM, those alerts stopped. My primary reason for buying this unit was the ability to integrate it into my existing home network via the ethernet port. I use this hotspot as a bonded signal with my Suddenlink cable internet. My speeds went from 25Mb/s down - 1.5Mb/s up to 110Mb/s down - 12 Mb/s up once I added in the M5. Set-up is not simple (especially how I have it set up), but it is not horrible. I wish Verizon would get their act together and make this easier to use on their network. If you don't already have a Verizon hotspot with an active SIM, you may need to purchase a hotspot first, then swap the SIM card. If you don't mind the alerts and just need occasional service, using an active SIM card from another device will work. My other suggestion would be to make sure you have the very best cell signal possible. In general, the more bars, the faster your service. I actually installed an Affanni cell signal booster (search Amazon) and placed the indoor relay antenna very close to the M5. I have 5 bars most of the time, and the unit has proven to be pretty reliable.

I purchased this product a couple of weeks ago. It's easy to set-up and use. Granted, you need to have an AT&T sim card/plan as it won't work with other mobile plans. Originally this product was supposed to be shipped by USPS. They "attempted" to have it delivered but were unsuccessful and as a result ended up sending it back to i3 Mobile USA. I contacted them and explained the situation. They sent out a new product via FedEx with an even faster shipping time just to make sure I had a seamless experience. It made all the difference. I'm writing this review while connected to the hotspot router's wifi.
