Actual performance as a WiFi router is mediocre, Touch screen latency could be better, No external antennas provided, Price parity needed in non-US regions
The NETGEAR Nighthawk M5 (MR5200) 5G WiFi 6 mobile router costs $699.99 from the NETGEAR US store and slightly more at $728 from the NETGEAR Amazon store for customers in the USA, as this is written. Those in other regions have to pony up more at up to £...

Abstract: The Nighthawk M5 measures 105mm (4.14in.) square and is 21.5mm (0.85in.) thick. It has a 2.4-inch LCD touch screen, a power button, a USB-C port and an RJ-45 Ethernet port. There are also two TS-9 connectors for use with external 5G/4G/3G antennas. MiFi -...
Stable, high throughput at close range, Works well as a modem stand-in, TS9 ports for better cellular range
Very speedy, No mmWave support, 5G plans haven't caught up to the technology
The Netgear Nighthawk m% isn't quite good enough to be a router on its own for anything larger than an apartment or small home, but it's an excellent hotspot fit for even large groups of coworking people, and it could conceivably be well-suited to be a mo...

Easy to set up your network and password, Fast to boot up and connect, Can connect up to 32 other devices wirelessly, Delivers super fast speeds on 5G
Only works on Telstra 5G network, Lower Telstra data plans only offer 4G access
The Netgear M5 Nighthawk Mobile Router is a must for staying connected on the move rather than draining your smartphone plan's data and battery. The Netgear M5 runs all day thanks to the large onboard battery and can connect up to 32 devices wirelessly to...
Super-fast 5G and Wi-Fi 6 performance, Day-long battery life, Great facility to provide backup for home broadband
Price is beyond punchy
The Netgear Nighthawk M5 has tons of potential uses. From keeping remote workers online to kids occupied on car/train journeys to giving you a solid backup for your home office connection, it's flexible and performs brilliantly in all of these roles.But w...
Simple to operate, Fastest mobile hotspot on the market, Very well built, Three ways of connecting
Very expensive, No support for multiple SIM, No support for onboard storage, No LAN cable bundled, Rather large power adaptor
The Netgear Nighthawk doesn't have any competition at the time of writing that we know of. Feel free to prove us wrong and we'll happily amend this paragraph. One could argue that a smartphone with WiFi 6 and USB Type C 3.2 Gen 2 (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S20...
