The Nighthawk 5G M7 is Netgear’s latest swing at making mobile internet simpler, faster, and more flexible. With WiFi 7 and full eSIM compatibility, this compact device has more muscle than it looks and skips the steep price of the old M6 Pro.

Mobile 5G hotspot meets global connectivity

Netgear packed in support for 5G networks across 140+ countries, making the Nighthawk M7 a travel-ready powerhouse. You can slot in a traditional nano SIM or go digital with an eSIM, which can be activated in minutes using the official app.

That app, available for both iPhone and Android, handles more than just plan selection. It shows your remaining data, real-time battery status, and offers easy access to the eSIM marketplace before any trip.

This mobile 5G hotspot supports WiFi 7 speeds

WiFi 7 means faster throughput and less lag for multiple connected devices up to 32, in fact. The M7 pushes speeds of up to 3.6 Gbps, which is more than enough to stream, browse, or game without sweating your connection.

Its compact form factor doesn’t slow it down either. The 3,850mAh battery lasts up to 10 hours and recharges via USB-C. Despite the punch, the unit weighs just 8.5 ounces and stays pocket-friendly.

What makes this mobile 5G hotspot stand out

Compared to the older M6 Pro, the M7 keeps the essentials and drops the extras that drove up cost. It features a simpler 2.4-inch display for checking data, battery, and signal strength. Even so, it adds eSIM flexibility and WiFi 7 a solid tradeoff for the price.

Here’s what you get:

• 5G support in over 140 countries
• Nano SIM + eSIM flexibility
• Up to 32 device connections
• 10-hour battery life
• Compact build with USB-C charging
• Optional Ethernet adapter via port extension

The smarter hotspot for 2025

The M7 isn’t flashy, but it’s built for the way people actually use mobile hotspots today. Quick plan swaps, high-speed WiFi, and no-nonsense design give it an edge. In a market full of overstuffed hardware, this one keeps its head down and just delivers.
