That upload speed is pretty impressive when you consider the upload speed on our Optus cable home broadband connection rarely gets over 2Mbps. In every single test the Galaxy S8 outpaced the Nighthawk M1, sometimes by a considerable margin. If you’re able to connect the M1 via Ethernet to a laptop this does reduce markedly as you’d expect. Still if your interest is in raw speed, you’re inevitably going to lose some along the way. Telstra has shifted its mobile hotspot portfolio markedly since the introduction of the Nighthawk M1, depending on your desire for a contract or prepaid device. On the contract side of the broadband fence the Nighthawk M1 is your only choice aside from the USB-connected Telstra 4GX USB + Wi-Fi Plus if you prefer creating a hotspot from the side of your laptop. The Nighthawk M1 runs on Telstra’s 4G LTE network and it’s theoretically able to hit speeds up to 1Gbps.
You can also see how much data you’ve used and how you’ve got left and how long before that allowance refreshes. This information can also be seen on the M1’s screen. For our review, we didn’t reach speeds anywhere near 1Gbps – but the headroom is there when the network catches up with this device’s stunning capabilities – and it’s not far off. While it has had a few lower-cost ZTE hotspots on its books over the years, Telstra’s primary producer of hotspots in the premium space has long been Netgear, and the Nighthawk M1 is most definitively a Netgear product. That’s not to say that it looks like any Netgear hotspot that preceded it. I am not sure if you are you familiar with the Devolo products? But it doesn't have 'modes', it is simply a set of wifi repeater plugs you plug in round the house to create a web. They have worked for us very well in the past.To see if your router supports access from the Nighthawk app, see Which products support the NETGEAR Nighthawk app?. Setting up the Netgear Nighthawk M2 couldn’t be much easier. You slide a SIM card into the slot inside the device, pop in the battery, put the case on and away you go. NETGEAR is delighted to be working with EE to provide its customers with the new Nighthawk M1 4G mobile router, said David Henry, Senior Vice President of Connected Home Products for NETGEAR. This new category of mobile routers is destined to be an essential tool for those that need to provide superfast 4G WiFi to a number of devices.”
EE also has the biggest 4G+ network in the UK, providing faster 4G speeds across more than 150 towns and cities. EE runs the UK's biggest and fastest mobile network, having pioneered the UK's first superfast 4G mobile service in October 2012 and was the first European operator to surpass 14 million 4G customers in December 2015. EE has more than 550 shops across the UK. EE's 4G coverage extends to more than 85% of the UK’s landmass (equal to more than 99% of the UK population) and EE has an ambition to extend 4G to 95% UK geographic coverage by 2020.
Apps and Services
Mobile hotspot products are arguably the best match for business users who need that kind of continuity of data. The practical reality for many consumers will be that it’s simpler and easier to just set up your existing smartphone as an ad-hoc hotspot as needs require rather than running a separate hotspot device. EE, part of BT Group, is the largest and most advanced mobile communications company in the UK, delivering mobile and fixed communications services to consumers. The M2 certainly isn’t light on features. It supports both 2.4GHz (best for range) and 5GHz (best for outright speed) Wi-Fi bands and you can connect multiple devices – unlike the 4G USB dongles, which only provide a connection to the laptop/PC you’re using.
