NETGEAR has launched the Nighthawk M6 Pro 5G Wi-Fi 6E Hotspot Router (MR6550) with advanced 5G mmWave and Wi-Fi 6E capabilities to deliver ultra-fast internet speeds and enhanced connectivity.
The M6 Pro joins the previously announced M6 (MR6150) in NETGEAR’s advanced mobile hotspot portfolio. It adds support for 5G mmWave and internet speeds of up to 8 Gbps, enabling multi-gig download and ultra-fast upload speeds. The Wi-Fi 6E capabilities allow the device to deliver improved wireless performance in crowded environments. The M6 Pro provides a portable and private Wi-Fi connection with a built-in firewall for up to 32 devices in any place that has cellular coverage.
5G mmWave and Wi-Fi 6E are two of the latest wireless technologies that offer several benefits over predecessors. 5G mmWave can provide extreme capacity, ultra-high throughput and ultra-low latency, making it ideal for applications that require real-time data transmission such as mission critical applications, UHD livestreams, Zoom meetings and more. Wi-Fi 6E provides enhanced performance and efficiency by expanding the Wi-Fi spectrum into the 6GHz frequency band, which reduces interference and improves connectivity.
The M6 Pro router can deliver multi-gig internet and boost Wi-Fi coverage up to 90 square meters with In-Home Performance Mode, activated by simply removing the battery and using the power adapter. In larger homes, the hotspot can provide Wi-Fi through an existing Wi-Fi router by plugging it into the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port. For locations where cellular signal is not strong, external antennas (sold separately) can be used to increase 5G reception when plugged into the antenna ports. The hotspot’s onboard USB-C port can also be used to charge devices or as an ultra-fast wired connection to a computer or laptop.
The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon SDX65 mobile platform and is equipped with a battery that can power up to 13 hours of work or play on a single charge. It supports global connectivity in more than 125 countries and is unlocked to work with all major 5G wireless carriers in Australia and New Zealand.
The M6 Pro offers a compact design making it convenient to take on the go and it’s simple to connect to the internet using a 5G/4G SIM card. It features an intuitive colour touch screen to monitor data usage, view and change the Wi-Fi name/password, check mobile signal strength, and manage network settings.
The M6 Pro Mobile Router (MR6550) is available now in Australia and New Zealand for MSRP $1,299 on NETGEAR.com
