Overview
Hotel rooms, job sites, RVs and homes facing cable outages are where this fifth-generation cellular hotspot earns its keep, sharing a cellular connection over the latest WiFi or Ethernet. A touch screen shows data use, signal and the WiFi password.
Ethernet output and an in-home mode with the battery removed let it serve as a real home router, not just a travel gadget. No SIM or data plan comes with it, so service is a separate purchase.
Who it's for
Business travelers, RV owners and households wanting outage backup get fast cellular internet for many devices. People without a data plan should budget for one before buying.
Pros and cons
- Fast 5G with WiFi 6
- Ethernet port for wired devices
- Long battery life
- Works on major US carriers
- SIM and data plan not included
- US use only
- Single Ethernet port
Performance notes
Real speed depends on local cellular signal and carrier, so coverage maps matter more than the peak figure. Removing the battery and running on the adapter enables the stronger in-home mode for wider WiFi coverage.
