Key specifications of Netgear’s Nighthawk M3 Mobile Router
The latest addition, the Nighthawk M3, is now said to provide lightning-fast speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps over 5G and supports a maximum aggregated Wi-Fi speed of 3.6 Gbps. The M3 also has an in-home performance mode, which extends Wi-Fi coverage up to 1,000 square feet when operating without its battery.
Just like the Nighthawk M6, Netgear’s M3 runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon SDX62 Mobile Platform. With dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz AX3600 Wi-Fi 6, it is expected to deliver speedy file transfers and smooth video streaming for up to 32 devices at once. Plus, its 5185mAh battery keeps users connected for up to 13 hours on a single charge.
The M3 is made to be portable and private for work, streaming, or gaming without relying on risky public networks. It’s also a backup for your home or office, stepping in to keep you online if your fixed-line broadband ever goes down.
Netgear president, David Henry, said in a statement seen by ReadWrite: “NETGEAR continues its commitment to making high-performance connectivity more accessible. With the launch of the Nighthawk M3 router, we’re delivering even more value—offering improved performance at a more competitive price point.”
Security has been an issue for Netgear. Earlier this year, ReadWrite reported that Chinese hacker group, Volt Typhoon, had attempted to cripple Cisco and Netgear devices in small businesses and homes. The threat actors targeted a vulnerability in old routers that were near the “end of their life,” according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Hence the latest device has VPN pass-through support and password protection.
The Nighthawk M3 is now available for pre-order, with a release date set for December 10. It’s priced at £449, likely matching the same amount in U.S. dollars.
