The ZMax Connect supports LTE bands 2/4/5/12/66/71. That safely covers AT&T and T-Mobile, but not Verizon or foreign carriers.
It can only do 2x10MHz or 1x20MHz carrier aggregation and 64QAM encoding on download, and a single 20MHz carrier on upload.
At my two test locations, I got 11-17Mbps on the hotspot with T-Mobile, and 12-14Mbps with AT&T. On a Samsung Galaxy S10 phone, I got 54-58Mbps on T-Mobile, and 132Mbps on AT&T.

I'm not saying that the device is good or bad, just noting that it is what it is - a low end device that will get the job done.
If your carrier flags the IMEI as a hotspot, you might not be able to use this on a standard plan. I'm really tempted because I added a free T-Mobile line during one of their promo periods.
Anyone know what the chances are this causes trouble?
