Deal really should have "Hotspot Router" in the title.

What's the difference between using this and just turning tether on for my phone?

The tethered data rate is usually slower than your phone's normal data rate, unless you're paying for a business account, or paying separately for hotspot services using one of these devices.

Just about nothing and very overpriced for what this is.

A hotspot has a single use, better antennas, more reliable connections both for WiFi and cellular, can have many devices connected to it via WiFi, and better security.

I hate using my phone for tethering. I have a $20 unlimited data plan on a hotspot and it's immensely better and faster than using my phone. With that being said, I bought this from Amazon last month for $264 and it's only $269 there now.

Can you provide details on the $20 unlimited data plan for your hotspot?

Been using my multiple phones for over 4ish years when I am mobile as a hotspot, I never needed more than 4 devices connected to it. Range is never an issue.

This is redundant unless you have a cheap phone. I have a Samsung Ultra 5G and no issues with T-Mobile, especially when you can buy hotspots for way cheaper.

Cool, this product is obviously not for you then. All I'm saying is using a phone as a hotspot isn't apples to apples but it depends on your use case (which sounds like yours is minimal). You can't use a phone for cellular backup on a network or connect to a router via Ethernet with a phone among all the other differentiators I mentioned.

I'm tempted to upgrade my Unite Explore, but i feel like if i'm going to upgrade it, ill get one that will do 5g for future-proof-ness

Edit:
might be cheaper directly from netgear.......and not sure about shipping/taxes, but $270

This is a better link as there is a 10% off: '10% off offer valid for one-time use on a single item for maximum savings of $100. May be applied to all NETGEAR and Meural products, excluding services and ProAV items. '

But overall, the M1 is like 4 years old and should not still be this expensive. If this was a phone, it would be about 1/4 the original price.

And if you really don't care about scratches/dings on the hotspot, you can get a used one for around $140 on eBay.

That's what I did with my unite explore and it works fine.

I really wish att would let you put a hold on your acct....I don't want to give up my $20 unlimited plan, but working from home I never use it.
