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 super-fast upload speeds, making tasks such as multi-user streaming, video conferencing, and online gaming smoother and more seamless than ever before. The WiFi 6E capabilities of the device also allow it to deliver improved wireless performance in crowded environments, making it an ideal choice for users who need reliable and fast internet connectivity anywhere.

Evolving work and lifestyles have spurred the growing need for always-on, secure, high-speed internet connectivity for multiple connected devices wherever, whenever. On the road, traveling for business or pleasure, secure WiFi is imperative. Public WiFi, while convenient, is not secure and not worth risking confidential business information over email or a personal bank transfer. The M6 Pro provides a portable, private WiFi connection with a built-in firewall for up to 32 devices in any place that has cellular coverage. Hotspot owners can enjoy uninterrupted video streaming, Zoom calls, online games, social media updates and large file uploads/downloads, all at the same time without risk of intrusion.

The latest wireless technologies

5G mmWave and WiFi 6E are two of the latest wireless technologies that offer several benefits over predecessors. The most significant benefits of 5G mmWave include the ability to provide extreme capacity, ultra-high throughput and ultra-low latency. This makes it an ideal solution for applications that require real-time data transmission such as mission critical applications, UHD livestreams, Zoom meetings and more. Additionally, WiFi 6E provides enhanced performance and efficiency by expanding the WiFi spectrum into the 6GHz frequency band, which reduces interference and improves connectivity. Overall, the combination of 5G mmWave and WiFi 6E provides users with an unprecedented level of multi-gig wireless performance and connectivity, enabling new applications and use cases that were previously impossible.
