Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro specifications and price
The Nighthawk M6 Pro is the more powerful of the duo. It houses a nano-SIM and supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G networks. As AT&T says, it offers 5G+ connectivity, which is the carrier‘s mid-band 5G network that is currently available in limited parts of eight metro areas in the US. This hotspot device includes a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and Wi-Fi 6E capability for a faster and more reliable internet connection (switchable to WiFi 6). We are talking about up to 3.6Gbps speeds. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X65 5G Modem-RF System, the Nighthawk M6 Pro boasts 1GB of RAM and 1GB of internal storage space. AT&T also touts a “long-lasting” removable rechargeable battery, which is a 5,040mAh unit. It is rated to last for up to nine hours on regular usage on a single charge. The device sports a 2.8-inch color touch display for navigation. The Nighthawk M6 Pro can connect to up to 32 devices simultaneously and supports 8k streaming. AT&T is selling this mobile hotspot in a single black color for $459.99. The company is offering 25GB of mobile hotspot data and HD streaming if you add the device to an AT&T DataConnect plan, which starts at $50 per month.
Netgear Nighthawk M6 specifications and price
If the Nighthawk M6 Pro is overkill for you, or a bit too costly, the vanilla M6 is a pretty capable mobile hotspot too. It misses out on AT&T’s 5G+ connectivity as well as Wi-Fi 6E capability. However, it features the same chipset, memory configuration, and battery pack and can still handle up to 32 devices simultaneously. Another downgrade is a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port but Netgear still claims speeds of up to 3.6Gbps. This device sports a slightly smaller 2.4-inch color touch display but that shouldn’t be a problem. There’s no mention of 8K streaming support though. Coming to the price, the Nighthawk M6 will cost you $309.99. The device is available in white color. AT&T’s DataConnect promotion is valid for this mobile hotspot as well. AT&T is also offering the new Netgear mobile hotspots to Enterprise Business customers at a discounted rate. On a two-year agreement, business customers can get the Nighthawk M6 for $224.99 and the M6 Pro for $349.99.
