A mobile hotspot router unlocks the power of your wireless carrier anywhere, so long as you haven’t cut ties with your provider. A switch from Verizon to AT&T and suddenly it’s an expensive paperweight. Before you shove your new SIM card into a risky secondhand model, check out NETGEAR’s Nighthawk M6 Pro Mobile Hotspot Router. It comes unlocked and ready to connect to any major US carrier, and it supports international roaming in 125 countries.
Plus, your switch to the M6 Pro over a carrier’s proprietary device doesn’t come with any sacrifice in quality; in fact it’s almost certainly better and faster than one purchased alongside your smartphone.
The Nighthawk M6 Pro is the first mobile hotspot to feature WiFi 6E, with a sizzling 3.6 gigabytes per second (Gbps) speed when you access that 6E signal. It can crank that speed up to 8 Gbps over 5G, with a range of up to 2,000 square feet. Having all this capability and performance while not tethering you to any one carrier makes the M6 Pro the premium portable hotspot for work, play, and travel.

Global Domination
There are few good options for getting reliable service abroad. Pay through the nose in roaming fees, or rely on sketchy public WiFi where your data and security may be at risk. Taking the M6 Pro overseas mitigates these issues.
Buy a prepaid SIM card at your destination or purchase one before you depart, and you’ll have the same performance, speed, and range as you do in the States without the added fees. The M6 Pro supports international roaming in up to 125 countries and makes it easy to transition between SIM cards if you’re hitting multiple destinations.
The M6 Pro is also a super travel-friendly device at 4 square inches and less than an inch thick. It weighs a hair over a half-pound with the battery inserted and will take up very little room in your carry-on or checked bag. Even at that minuscule size, the 2.8-inch LCD touchscreen is easy to read and use.
Road Warrior
Traveling for work demands a reliable connection. Offices tend to have secure and powerful networks, but for last-minute deliverables and “quick questions” from your boss, you don’t want to rely on sketchy hotel and airport networks if at all possible.
A powerful mobile hotspot should have a place in every road warrior’s carry-on. Anyone who travels for work and business, who needs an internet connection anywhere at any time, should carry the Nighthawk M6 Pro.
It’s more than just a reliable insurance policy when you need to pull off the road to answer an email that can’t wait. It’s powered by the latest 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, which delivers greater capacity, vastly improved speed, and low latency, especially in crowded WiFi areas. Even if you find yourself stuck in a crowded area, or an outdoor space where interference would normally be an issue, the M6 Pro has enough speed and bandwidth for you to join a Zoom call or even host a live stream.
Plug In for Power
The M6 Pro’s battery life lasts for up to 13 hours, plenty of time to tackle even a lengthy workday or keep the podcasts rolling on a road trip. While battery-powered, the M6 Pro’s range is up to 1,000 square feet. But if you’re near an AC outlet, you can plug in to double that range to up to 2,000 square feet. And the M6 Pro also has USB-C and 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports built in so you can hardwire for dedicated speed and reliability.
