GlocalMe Numen Air 5G Mobile Hotspot, Portable WiFi Hotspot for Travel in 200+ Countries, Ultra High Speed Pocket Hotspot Device with Speed Up to 2.5Gbps, No SIM Card Required, 16 Connected Devices

I'm always hesitant about these types of hotspots. I've had three 4g hotspots but my signal has always been just below good enough to use for work. My job requires a couple VPN jumps and the 2-5mbps of 4g LTE in my area on my network Google-Fi (t-mobile) just didn't make them useful. - This is the first hotspot with 5G that I've seen fall into the "affordable" range. $300 is a bit pricey still, so it's on the higher end of that scale for me.... But it's WAY better than the $500-$900 price of other 5G hotspots. The trade-off being they want to put you on the "easy" but more predatory path of buying their esim data packages. - SO because of that I was skeptical of how well the physical sim option would work. I didn't like that I had to install their app. Thankfully I didn't have to build an account, I just used my google sign in which is strong and multi-auth'd for security. --- - Free tip: the more user/login accounts you create, the more susceptible you are to being breached. Unless unlike most people you don't use the same password for everything lol. (use a password manager people!) --- Once I opened the app and dropped into it, I was able to scan the QR on the device and "sync" or "bind" it to my account. I suppose they do that for security since they would hold your payment information IF you bought their electronic SIM. WHICH I DID NOT --- For those unaware, you can get a free data-only sim card from Google-Fi. It uses your plan data and I have the unlimited premium plan which offers full speed 5G performance on hotpot devices for 50gb a month (so much for unlimited lol) But that's plenty for me as I'd use this as a backup mostly to my own home internet or for when going out of town or out of the house. --- After inserting the Sim Card, I just had to approve it in the sim manager, mine is unlocked and all that so it was easy as pie to set up. You may have to talk to your provider if you do want to get one those hoops are not an issue with this device. In the device screen you just "switch" to the Sim Card option and enable the 5g slider. that's it. --- The device itself is sleek enough, almost as tall as my S24 Ultra, and skinnier by about 3/4 of an inch. I guess it would've been cool to get a little carrying pouch for it? but meh I don't mind not having one. the plastic housing of the device has a nice velvet matte type finish and it's USB-C YESSSS great not having to carry around a separate mini or micro usb cable. Because it's USB-C it charges quickly too. The battery seems to hold a charge well. I would suggest keeping it between that 30-80% sweet spot as that's best for batteries of this generation. --- Boot up time is pretty quick too. About 7-10 seconds and then maybe another 3-5 for the signal to start transmitting/emitting. --- ***SPEED/PERFORMANCE*** I compared my phones performance on 5G to this device getting and transmitting 5G. They matched nearly identically. So I know the product can perform as well as a normal cell phone. That's all I needed to see. But I did hook my work laptop into it and worked from inside my home and outside my home. I was getting about 25-40Mbps inside my house and 80-110Mbps outside on my deck. Very usable for my work needs (think slack, email, browser work over vpn) ****Super happy with the results and exactly in line with what I was hoping for!!!***** Additional notes: There are so many factors to take into account with speed/performance. Your location: i.e. inside or outside, material of the building you're in if you're inside, distance from a 5G tower, even weather can impact it a bit (not as bad as satellite though). Then there's time of day, city population, population using your carrier. If you're in a megacity and your towers are over-saturated, and everyone uses the same carrier, the performance of your phone or this device will OBVIOUSLY be impacted. Those are not factors to fault this device over. Granted the strength of the antennae of the device does share some accountability, but these are "cheap", consumer level devices. It doesn't have a ton of huge antennas, it's got a small footprint and it's not some business class office level product. It's for a handful of devices at a time. (Think friends camping or at a cabin etc) or someone working from the road that needs their own secure and reliable device to get internet. It's not going to be the best for a central hub of a network to use 24/7 across an entire family's set of devices. (think ps5, 3 cable boxes, 4 laptops, 5 phones, media PC's etc) this isn't meant for things like that. ---- **Conclusion** Super happy with the device, would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for on the go data usage for work or play where you need that 5G speed!

The GlocalMe Numen 5G Air is a remarkable device. Until now, when I lost cable Internet access because my service provider was down, my smartphone became a temporary WiFi hotspot. The smartphone hotspot provides slow internet speed and a lot of browsing timeouts while wirelessly connected to my desktop PC. I was desperate for an emergency backup solution for Internet access that was faster than my smartphone. The price of the Numen was an "ouch" but after I received it, activated it and tested it for a few days, I concluded it was definitely worth the price. The Numen is high quality, high performance and easy to set up. I tested it for a few days on my tablet, notebook computer and desktop PCs. We have 5G phone service where I live. The Numen connected to the local 5G phone network quickly and easily. With the Numen WiFi connection, both the download and upload speeds were faster than the same internet speed test using my cable internet service WiFi or even my fiberoptic Internet service WiFi. The Numen has capabilities I may never use because I don't travel outside of the USA. It can connect seamlessly to the phone systems in many other countries. It can operate on the 5G or 4G networks. The LED touchscreen on the Numen is clear and easy to read. The GlocalMe phone app is not all that visually appealing, but it gets the job done for maintaining my account and interfacing with the Numen when required. I like the way GlocalMe's service model works. It's a one-time payment for the hotspot device. The app is free and all you have to do is purchase data packages from GlocalMe to make everything work perfectly. The Numen uses virtual SIMS to connect but is also capable of using a real SIM from another provider. I haven't tested the Numen with a 3rd party SIM, and probably won't. I purchased the Numen for emergency backup and short travel trips in the USA. I don't anticipate needing a lot of monthly data bandwidth for it. But it's nice to know I have the SIM option because there are other data providers that sell data plans competitive with GlocalMe's data packages. Prior to purchasing the Numen, I checked out several videos about it on YouTube and the few that I found were very positive. It was the YouTube video reviews that convinced me to take the Numen plunge. I'm glad I did. I can rest a lot easier now just knowing I have reliable, fast emergency Internet access as long as the cellular networks are still functioning.

I occasionally travel for work and often find myself in places with limited connection. I had been happy with a competitor’s e-sim travel data services until recently, when lack of coverage (due to the service’s arrangements with only 1 local telco in two separate countries) led to missed appointments and nightmarish video conferences. I was introduced to GlocalMe’s Numen Air by an employee of uCloudlink (parent company of GlocalMe), while in Saudi Arabia. He kindly allowed me to connect via this device as I had struggled with poor (3G) connection from another operator. I was blown away by its speed and connectivity. I appreciate that uCloudlink has arrangements with multiple local telcos (not only 1) and that the device will always connect to the local telco providing the best connection at each location. I purchased this device ahead of my latest trip back to the US and I am pleased to report that it works as well as expected. The navigation menu is simple and straight-forward; setting it up was a breeze. For connection by older mobile devices, I can easily switch Numen Air’s WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz. Pricing-wise, the cost of data is comparable to similar e-sim data services. Frankly, there is no need to take the specific [5G] plans as normal plans will connect to the highest speed, where applicable (which is 5G). Pros: easy to set up and use, steady-good connectivity, comparable cost, multiple device connections, ability to complete VC calls from different parts of the world without hassle Cons: daily charging when in use, need to carry another device The pros do outweigh the cons. I therefore recommend this Item.

Shape, size and build are good. Set up and working is good. Using in USA as a data hotspot and it works well. I haven't tested it with international travel yet. It supports 5G and also 2.5 and 5 GHz WifI bandwidth which works well. I am using Glocal plan. Please note that using 3rd party cellphone physical SIM will have some limitation if you want to use with Roku etc. Using a 3rd party Data only SIM or Global plan will be the best option for using with Roku. If using a hotspot for wIfi wit laptop, 3rnd party cellphone sim works. Overall will recommend this as a good hot spot device, and if it works international as well as it does inside USA, then its a winner.

I bought this 5G hotspot router less than a year ago (by 3 weeks). I am currently out on a trip, and the device has failed overnight. Worked great yesterday, and now it has a dead battery that will not accept a charge. Other than that, I have been extremely pleased with the unit. Very fast internet connectivity. Easy setup. I have been using it with a T-Mobile 5G mobile hotspot SIM (the only type of SIM that T-Mo will allow in a third-party hotspot). I will order another one if this one is not still under a warranty. It did receive a firmware update yesterday. I have no idea whether that has somehow resulted in the battery failure or not. Update: Two things of note here. One is that I attempted to reach out to the support at GlocalMe via the link on their website about any sort of warranty service or replacement. That e-mail bounced. Second, I plugged the old router into a newer charger unit (USB C with QC 3.x support) and the unit charged back up again. It also held the charge completely overnight, while the router was turned off. So it does not appear that the battery has failed. Now I'm wondering more about the firmware update. The charger I was using while on the road was able to charge my laptop via USB C without a problem, so I know that it did not fail. I will update further if more develops. I did upgrade my rating to 4 stars, because the unit really is great when it is running. Just knocking a star off because of the lack of a way to contact the support group.

Items does what it is suppose to do. Easy and convenient for traveling!

It takes a lot to impress me, but this guy knocked it out of the park. We went across 3 states and used it at the place we stayed for 10 days. It didn't miss a beat. I didn't even know things like this were available until we took our trip. Don't have WIFI in your car and need it? This is a great option.

I am so pleased with this product that I am going to buy one for my son and daughter. It is a game changing! I think this was one of the best purchases I made all year and not just personally but also professionally.

電源オンでCloudSIMが自動接続、現地SIM不要で利用可能との事。 日本国内では楽天モバイルSIMで運用予定 とにかくメリット:はグローバル対応、楽天SIM併用でコスト削減期待。複数デバイス接続もOK携帯性も期待通り。 GlocalMe MeowGo G40Proは、海外でインターネット接続を求めるユーザーに最適。楽天SIM併用でコストを抑えつつ、CloudSIMで広範な利用可。データ料金の事前確認が必要だが、操作性と携帯性は問題なしでした

Kompaktes und handliches WLAN-Gerät. Die Nutzung des mobilen /WLAN-Hotspot kann entweder über eine SIM-Karte erfolgen oder das Auslandspaket für das jeweilige Ausland über die GlocalMe-App (Preise beachten) gebucht werden. Wir haben das mobile WLAN mit einer ausländischen SIM-Karte/100 GB für 7 Personen aktiviert und hatten jederzeit und überall eine gute und stabile Verbindung.

Worked very well on our trip to the Caribbean. Quickly picked up free wifi whenever available e.g. hotels, coffee shops etc. Bought a SIM card for it and was able to use as a hub for my other devices - laptop, iPhone, fire stick. Very stable. Only negative is it is not eSIM capable. But you can buy a plan directly from GlocalMe website.

Used in France for 2.5 weeks. Works well and retains battery power. Comes with a GB of data included so was able to use that for the duration of my trip. Used for one device connection only so can't comment on use of multiple devices at once.

日本の携帯会社のモバイルルーターは契約経験がありましたが、単体での購入は初めてで慎重に選びました。 初期設定に戸惑いましたが販売者が丁寧に教えてくれて、接続も安定しています。 本体は薄くてとても軽いです。充電感度も良く、充電速度も不満はありません。 次はもっと容量が大きく、有効期間の長い製品も買おうと思います。
