That's far short of Inseego's stated 24 hours, and I don't really have an explanation for that. I got about 9.5 hours of steady 4G LTE streaming on the hotspot before it gave up. In general, you're not going to see those on millimeter-wave 5G hotspots because TS9-compatible antennas don't support millimeter-wave. The hotspot doesn't have any TS9 external antenna ports. The one major category you'll find on a home Wi-Fi hotspot that you don't get here is parental controls. More options are available through a web portal, including port filtering and forwarding, guest network, Wi-Fi band usage and channels, bandwidth (up to 80MHz, not the 160MHz maximum allowed in Wi-Fi 6), firewall, MAC filter, and manual DNS. The screen lets you monitor your data usage, change Wi-Fi settings, and keep track of who's connected to your hotspot. The M2100 has a clear, sharp monochrome touch screen on its front face. The M2100 (right) is less unwieldy than the M1000 (left) The M2100, which supports 30 devices and works well to a tested distance of around 80 feet, isn't a hotspot for just you-it's a hotspot for sharing with a group. Using the hotspot mode on your phone tends to have a relatively low device limit-5 or 10 connected at the same time-and the Wi-Fi signal isn't particularly powerful. The M2100, on the other hand, is the size and shape of a regular hotspot, if a large one, at 5.9 by 2.2 by 0.7 inches (HWD) and 7.4 ounces, and it actually delivers gigabit speeds from Verizon 5G cell sites.Īll of my hotspot reviews usually have a section on why you should buy a hotspot, but the reason is clearer for the M2100 than for other devices. ![]() Verizon's first M1000 was a massive hotspot with a noisy fan and performance problems. Verizon's millimeter-wave network, unfortunately, still isn't. With a 30-device limit and Wi-Fi 6 to reduce interference, the M2100 is ready for team connectivity. It shows the true potential of millimeter-wave 5G as wireless fiber, a connection that's fast enough to bring broadband speeds not just to one device, but to groups, classes, or teams of gadgets. ![]() Inseego's MiFi M2100 5G UW ($399.99) is the first real gigabit 5G hotspot widely available in the US. ![]()
