NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 Wi-Fi Hot spot

amazon.com

If you want to use a Wi-Fi hot spot on AT&T's network, we recommend going with this one from Netgear. It's capable of hosting up to 20 devices via 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, up to the 802.11ac specification.

It's equipped with a 5,040 maH battery that lasts for a day, and when the hot spot dies, it recharges quickly because it's compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.

It's one of the few hot spots that has a built-in Ethernet port, which you can use for offloading your traffic to limit your cellular usage. Like Verizon's hot spot, it has a USB port for charging other devices, but this one has a full-sized port, compared to Verizon's USB-C port. Its USB port can also be used to connect an external hard drive or thumb drive to share files to connected devices.

Netgear has a complementary app that lets you manage the Wi-Fi connections for all of your devices, adjust settings, check usage, and view media files.
