Inseeg MiFi X Pro M3000 5G and 4G LTE Hotspot | Carrier Unlocked | All Day Battery Life | WiFi 6 Technology (Renewed)

So much better than the M2000!!! I am not experiencing disconnects, slow connection, shutting down. Though the price is a little higher, it is what you pay for! I keep the device plugged in and run my home internet. If I were to have any complaint, it would be poor transmitting signal. Device works best when near the PC.

These things will boot loop and the firmware will no longer work if you leave them plugged into a PD USB-C and ithe device powering it loses power. Very poor engineering. Cannot turn off the power other device feature. Also, the screen has annoying popups that don't self-clear. You must acknowledge the popup to get back to the status screen. Poor user interface design. No capability for an external antenna.

This has worked surprisingly well. I have a specific use case - I'm a sports photographer and I need to send images from courtside, sideline, etc., in different gyms, arenas, fields, all over the place. I use this with a Mint sim and it works really well. There are still some gyms and spots I have trouble getting a signal but it's still much stronger than using my phone. The battery life seems to be pretty good. Using it over the course of 2-3 games brings it down about halfway. It does take a long time to start up which may be important for some but I just fire it up when I get there and a few minutes later I'm good to go.

I have a love-not-love relationship with this device. Firstly, it's a nice piece of hardware, simple and to the point. It has a lot of options/settings, including a very important one: the ability to select 5G only and totally ignore 4G. This has been good in keeping connected to 5G, both for stability and speed. When I am able to get a connection, it does pretty well. In my house, I can never get a stable cell signal, but with this Inseego M3000, I do manage to get 2 bars of 5Guc. (Yeah, the "uc" looked weird to me at first, but it's real.) For the first time ever, I was able to get a steady-enough connection, and it was good enough to stream YouTube videos to my Tablet with this hotspot at 1080p without many noticeable issues. If I move it to the other end of my house, it will remain stable. So far, it feels more like a booster than a hotspot, but it's better than what I was getting before, nothing. What I do not love about this is the 1 to 2-minute start-up time. Especially when it falls asleep. Simply pressing the button to wake it up doesn't just "wake" it up; it simply reboots as if it were totally off. So if you take this with you in your car and think you'll simply just push the button to turn on and go, you're wrong. I have to HOLD the button down for like 7 seconds before it even flashes the screen to boot. It is very annoying. And if you're thinking of just letting it sit idle while disabling sleep, the battery will drain from 100% down to about 30% overnight. If you think you can just leave it plugged into your car's USB and have it auto-start when the car starts, supplying power to the USB, it won't. Basically, it's great when it's running, but going from shutdown to actually being able to use it is annoyingly painful. You have to stop what you're doing every time, just to get it to run. I wish a firmware update could fix this, but it probably cannot. Now, if you're NOT annoyed by things like this, then you'll probably be fine. But I need this for on the go, in my car, and I need it to just be tucked away and never seen again, and just simply work. It cannot do that. It needs to be managed every time you need it. So for now, I am keeping it as a backup internet connection for when the main one goes offline (which has been happening often). The fact that I can get a signal in 5G inside my house is what gives it the 4 Stars for me. Minus 1 star for being an absolute pain to just get it to start up.

Works very well and has been very reliable. Good stable speeds and easy to use.

Item on top was sent originally but will not turn on even though the light on the power button lights up when plugged into power. I requested a replacement and a different model (item on the bottom) was sent. While this item works and that is my main concern, it is a much cheaper model and I should be partially reimbursed or the correct and function product should be sent to me.

Ever since I was a kid my dad would drag me up to our cabin ... one fuzzy channel of TV and no Internet.. In fact until I bought this the only option available was DSL... YES! DSL is still a thing! .. This hot spot changed everything. Eventhoigh I'm remote .. I turn on this guy and WOW 5G!! and 4 Bars!! ... Kudos to the people that designed this (and to T-Mo too) So now I can run up to the cabin and not feel like I fell off the face of the planet.

powering on takes a long time. not to hold the power button for 20 seconds or more to get the power to turn on and then takes several minutes to start up
