GlocalMe Numen Air 5G Mobile Hotspot, Portable WiFi Hotspot for Travel in 200+ Countries, Ultra High Speed Hotspot Device with Global 1.1GB Data, No SIM Card Required, 16 Connected Devices

Pro: Good speed, good signal, durable battery, easy to set upCon: Expensive (especially for use in North America), and data plans are not so flexible. There's almost only either 1-day plan or more expensive 30-day plan available, with only very few 7-day plans that I need

So far so good. This review is strictly regarding the device, not the enharent services of GlocalMe. Although, they provided 1GB free.To be concise, I used this for HS connection for mobile DJying. I normally have my MacBook Pro and Denon Prime 4 connected simultaneously during gigs.Performance has been nothing short of excellent. Through 6 gigs now, no drops, and always a great signal. I purchased a 365 day 50 GB data simm from Amazon to use with it. Simm inserted without issue, initialized and connect to a cell provider with in less than a minute.I highly recommend if you have a similar need.

The hotspot itself works really well, but that's about it. Extremely overpriced (both the hotspot and most of the plans), and they limit which users can get which plans. So, though it's supposed to be a 5G hotspot and though their website shows more 5G plans available, for me there was only one extremely expensive 5G plan per month that I could buy...which basically made this an expensive 4G device, for me. If I wanted a 4G device, I could have ordered a much cheaper one. I sent this back and got the Jextream 5G Mobile Hotspot from T-Mobile, and that works just as well with more affordable and diverse plans.Also, the prices listed on this product page...some of them are incorrect and less than what you might get as an option for you when you buy this.

It works great! And… it works virtually anywhere!

I bought this 5G hotspot router less than a year ago (by 3 weeks). I am currently out on a trip, and the device has failed overnight. Worked great yesterday, and now it has a dead battery that will not accept a charge. Other than that, I have been extremely pleased with the unit. Very fast internet connectivity. Easy setup. I have been using it with a T-Mobile 5G mobile hotspot SIM (the only type of SIM that T-Mo will allow in a third-party hotspot). I will order another one if this one is not still under a warranty. It did receive a firmware update yesterday. I have no idea whether that has somehow resulted in the battery failure or not.Update: Two things of note here. One is that I attempted to reach out to the support at GlocalMe via the link on their website about any sort of warranty service or replacement. That e-mail bounced.Second, I plugged the old router into a newer charger unit (USB C with QC 3.x support) and the unit charged back up again. It also held the charge completely overnight, while the router was turned off. So it does not appear that the battery has failed. Now I'm wondering more about the firmware update. The charger I was using while on the road was able to charge my laptop via USB C without a problem, so I know that it did not fail. I will update further if more develops. I did upgrade my rating to 4 stars, because the unit really is great when it is running. Just knocking a star off because of the lack of a way to contact the support group.

Many of these reviews speak of how easy this device is to set up. I suspect those reviewers either work in technology or are very comfortable working with technology.People like me who mainly use their computers and smart phones for email, watching Youtube or similar videos, reading the news, or checking up on products or ordering them - may find setting up this device, ordering a data plan and linking it to the device - isn't so simple. For us, linking the data plan to the Numen Air took up at least half of setup time (hours).I ordered this Numen Air because we are retirees who spend lots of time at our computers in smaller restaurants or other places which don't offer wifi. We read thru meals (except dinner). Sometimes it used to take right thru breakfast to link my computer to my phone's personal hotspot. Then it was time to leave!Unfortunately, my wife and I spent at least 4 to 5 hours from opening the box to getting the Numen Air to work as intended. That included time on their Chat (sometimes you get an experienced person, sometimes not). As for phone help, I kept getting "busy" and never did speak to a real (non-computerized) person. Along the way my wife had to calm me down from strenuous reaction to the frustration of staring at a screen which was asserting that I'd entered the wrong password. Turns out my password was right - I'd set it up the day before, but they wanted me to insert THEIR password from the back of the box. Eventually - hours later - I stumbled upon that password and quickly was able to get the device working as intended.I'm sure the problem was much more me than Numen Air. But if I were them, I'd hire a non-tech writer to write up directions in plain English (for the American market) - and then have someone's 80 year old grandmother try to set up the device with a data plan - with no help from chat or a help desk. It should be that simple to set up. (Hope Numen Air and Glocal Me are reading this post.)But now that I'm all set up, I'm glad I got this device. Believe me, it was a real thrill when everything finally fell into place. But for those seniors on heart medicine reading this comment, my best advice is to have your 5 year old granddaughter do the setting up.

Perfect for traveling and business! I bought this unit so I can work from anywhere. I needed something that was independent from my current cellular service and would work.... Anywhere. This Hotspot is the perfect solution. Small, portable, strong signal! No need for a SIM card but had the wonderful option of having one. This is a great device with reasonable packages and pay as you go rates. My wife and I travel all over the world. Connectivity is important.WiFi signal so far is great. Only tested in so far in the mid west and east coast.5G speeds! I can use Teams, connect via my companies VPN. No slowdown thus far!I can recommend this.

The most reliable, most secure & fastest exclusive 5G wifi network for global business travelers!
