To use the NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 as a cellular router, you must have an activated nano-SIM card with a data plan. You can obtain a SIM card from your cellular carrier (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and add it to your existing data plan as an additional line. You can also purchase SIM cards from many retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy; the data plan will either have a recurring monthly payment or will be a prepaid “pay-as-you-go” plan.
For locations with weak cellular signal, a cell signal booster may be a better option in your motorhome or trailer. If you have any questions about which option is right for you, please feel free to contact Powerful Signal—we’ll be happy to help you!
