O2 Mobile Broadband Deals

Nighthawk M6 Router

If you’re looking for ultra-fast 5G mobile broadband, O2 is currently offering the Nighthawk M6 Router from just £14 per month for the first three months (then £22 per month).

The Nighthawk M6 is Netgear’s latest 5G mobile hotspot router, giving you fast and secure Wi-Fi connectivity wherever you are. It’s portable enough to be used on-the-go (e.g. in the car, on family holidays, business trips, and more), whilst also being powerful enough to be used in a fixed location (e.g. at home or in the office).

The most impressive thing about the Nighthawk M6 router is its focus on offering a first-class WiFi experience in such a portable device. It has support for the latest version of Wi-Fi 6 technology (802.11ax), allowing you to connect up to 32 devices to the internet at the same time. There’s also a 1Gbps Ethernet port for connecting wired devices, along with a USB-C port that offers wired tethering at speeds of up to 5Gbps.

If you’re using the Nighthawk M6 whilst you’re on-the-go, it can easily slip in to your bag or backpack. It measures just 10.5 x 10.5 x 2.15cm and has an impressive 5,040mAh battery. According to Netgear, this can give you up to 168 hours of use on standby.

Meanwhile, if you’re using the Nighthawk M6 in a fixed location, you can simply remove the battery and use it as a mains-powered device. This will put it in ‘home mode’, enhancing both the power and the range of your Wi-Fi network. When you’re using the Nighthawk M6 in ‘home mode’, the Wi-Fi network will cover a range of up to 1,000 sq ft (90 sq m).

For day-to-day management, the Nighthawk M6 Router has a 2.4-inch colour touchscreen display. This allows you to easily connect new devices to your network and to see how much data you’ve used on it.

At present, the Nighthawk M6 router is available on the following plans from O2:

Device	Data Allowance	Contract Length	Upfront Price	Monthly Price
Nighthawk M6	5GB Data	36 month device plan Monthly rolling airtime plan	£0	£22/month £14 for 3 months
