When you’re traveling on the go and need to connect multiple devices with cellular internet coverage, one of the easiest options is to use your smartphone as a mobile hotspot. Most cell carrier plans allow you to share your connection with multiple devices, but such heavy lifting can take a toll on your battery life. The alternative is to use a mobile hotspot, such as Netgear’s newly announced Nighthawk 5G M7. The Nighthawk 5G M7 is an all-in-one device that provides dual-band Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and support for up to 32 connected devices.
At the heart of the Nighthawk 5G M7 is Qualcomm’s Dragonwing SDX72 chipset, which includes a fifth-generation 5G modem that delivers Wi-Fi speeds of up to 3.6 Gbps to connected devices. If you prefer a hardwired connection, you can connect the Nighthawk 5G M7 to your laptop directly via USB-C or use an optional USB-C-to-Ethernet adapter.
