NETGEAR Nighthawk M6

The new NETGEAR NIGHTHAWK M6 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon SDX62 Mobile Platform and delivers premium performance with groundbreaking speeds. The Dual-Band 2.4GHz and 5GHz AX3600 WiFi 6 is perfect for all the mobile connectivity needs from file transfers to high-end video streaming on up to 32 connected devices. Thanks to its 5040mAh battery users can enjoy up to 13 hours of use on a single charge allowing you to bring connectivity with you anywhere you go and have it last your full workday.

Perfect for At Home or in The Office

Whether you are at home or in the office, the M6 can be used as both primary and backup internet access especially when you are in rural areas with limited wired internet access is available. The M6 can provide the most secure, private WiFi connections for your devices in airports, hotels trains and other public places that offer WiFi. Additionally, if you are in an area where you wish to limit your 5G data usage or an area with a limited mobile network signal you won’t need to worry. The M6 has an offloading feature which enables tethering to local public WiFi for internet connectivity whilst eliminating the need to manually connect each device to said WiFi.

Easy To Set up And Use

The M6 features a compact design which is easy to transport, set up and use. On the device is an intuitive colour touch screen to conveniently monitor your data usage, view the WiFi name and password, check mobile signal strength and manage device settings. The device features Gigabit ethernet and USB-C ports to make it easy to connect and distribute fast internet speeds plus external 5G antennas (sold separately) can be connected to boost reception.
