The NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 & M6 Pro mobile hotspots will be available online Apr. 22 

What’s The News? Beginning Apr. 22, AT&T* customers will be able to access America’s Most Reliable 5G Network¹ when the NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 and Nighthawk M6 Pro mobile hotspots arrive online. The Nighthawk M6 will be available online for $309.99 along with the Nighthawk M6 Pro for $459.99.

Unlike traditional Wi-Fi routers that only work with cable, DSL, or fiber services, these mobile hotspots allow users to use a 5G connection as their primary Internet and deliver multi-gigabit speeds to their home or on the go. The Nighthawk M6 Pro is also the world’s first WiFi 6E mobile hotspot.
