It may be bigger and heavier than its peers but Netgear’s Nighthawk M6 Mobile Hotspot is not only a snap to set up and use but can get you online anywhere there’s a 4G or 5G phone signal. It works just as well on the road as at home to ensure a 24/7 internet connection and is also the rare hotspot that can be outfitted with external antennas to grab a weak signal. The M6 hotspot combines access to the mobile data network and Wi-Fi 6 transmissions for top speeds but relies on the Sub-6 portion of the 5G spectrum, limiting its top speed.
