Hi All.
So as i have posted previously, i recently bought a Netgear Nighthawk M6. I got bluespot antenna with it and i use a Smarty sim. I have a few complaints about the device in general and im not really feeling it. When i plug it in to my home Netgear ORBI mesh the speed drops from 500meg to 130. thats my biggest issue with it. cant seem to get any support from Netgear. So do i send it back and throw the dice with something different?
I originally chose the M6 because it had the battery and allowed me to go offgrid with it in my caravan, however as discovered, it doesnt seem to be able to hang on to a signal. My phoine will have a 3g service on smarty but the M6 will just say searching. effectivly useless. The battery lasts about 30 minutes too.
Options.
mikrotik chateau 5g - Cheaper, well thought of but not really something i could go off grid on my 12v battery with.
Zyxol NR7101 - Cheaper again, I see lots of reviews but i dont know much about this device.
Teltonika RUTX5G - Same kind of price point as the 2 above, runs on opensource OS. performance looks good and it can run on leaisure batter 9v.
Any thoughts on this kit gents? I am bit lost as to which way to go.
