I've been using this AirCard for about a week now, and I have to say that it's very good at what it does.And what does it do? Well it provides a wireless hotspot using a data sim from a mobile network of one's choice. In my case I have been using it to provide a hotspot so that my daughters can use their iPads in the car.In terms of speed I've found it to be pretty quick; when there's a 4G signal around I'd say it's faster than my home broadband (standard BT ... not fibre); on 3G it's still quite reasonable.Setting up is very easy; buy a data sim card, charge the battery and switch it on. Look for the AirCard's network name (NTGR89DF in my case)

Nice unit -Charged it up - placed EE SIM card into the slot and it connected to the Internet straight away at 4G.Tried my giffgaff provider SIM (O2) and it did not auto-detect. So; no internet connection.This was easily sorted using my computer and by inputting the APN details and setting up a Profile (this could be a problem if you don't have computer access). So - before you take this anywhere - be sure that all your SIMs work. If you do not do this - and you are in an area without any other internet and computer access; you will be dead in the water.The reason I hark on about different SIMs is that I travel the UK a lot. In some areas I can get EE access and others not - same as O2 and giffgaff etc.

I travel a lot in Europe and US, and a lot of the time in non-urban areas so badly need a reliable, stable cellular signal that can be used for data. I will confine my comments to the use of this device abroad.I have previously owned 4 different 3G WiFi routers/dongles/MiFi devices.All these devices suffer from one major obstacle to achieving my goals. Cellular coverage abroad is by and large HOPELESS outside major cities both in US and mid-Europe. And this device is no help where the partner network abroad is transmitting on 2.6GHz (as a lot of the French and US networks do), great for distance coverage, hopeless for building or car penetration, great for capacity,

I received the Aircard AC785 as part of NETGEAR’s Friends and Family scheme for evaluation. This review is intended to provide an objective summary, for the benefit of those considering purchasing.My use of the Aircard is primarily for use during business travel, particularly when in the car, with an EE PAYG SIM (I’ve found 3G/4G coverage to be available in most areas, even during motorway travel). Set up was effortless, simply insert the Micro-SIM, pop the battery back in, and away we go.The unit is small and light enough to carry in a bag, or even a jacket pocket without becoming bulky, and is ideal for use in the car glove box,

I actually got the Netgear AirCard 810S model. Not Netgear Aircard 810 as described in the announcement. I'm not realy sure if they are the same device. All I know is that the AC 810S are being sold by network carriers not sold directly by Netgear company. Netgear sells the model AC 810 straigt to customers. I'm still yet to find out if there are any differences between the 2 models in terms of hardware and firmware(i guess the firmware is from the network carrier not from netgear for AC 810S model. As far as I'm concerned, the AC 810S does it's job and covers what I need from it to do: reliable internet and fast, strong signal, fast wifi. From all mifi out there on this category I'll definitely put this as one of the best.

Got this to allow me to work whilst commuting via train which, as it is done via a remote Citrix connection, is required to have a very steady and low latency connection to work properly. The AirCard delivered on all fronts and on my 40 min train journey I only normally drop connection once (which can be excused as it happens in a rather large tunnel) but what surprised me was the speed. With only 1/2 bars on a 4G connection I was getting 45Mb/s which is the same speed as my Fibre internet at home! It really is fast.The interface is simple and clean, battery life good, and the only complaint I would've had ended up being a temporary network issue with EE.

I'm with Vodafone and coverage isn't always perfect. So I use this Aircard with a 90 day/6Gb sim card running on the EE network. The combination of Vodafone and EE works for me, so I can always be online when out and about. For most of the year the iPhone App stopped interacting with the device (wifi still worked), but over the last few weeks the software on the device updated itself and a new App was released. The battery tends to last all day (12hrs) depending on usage and I only turn it on when I want to use it to save the data limit, so most of the year it is turned off, but ready to go. It's small and light enough to carry in a pocket or in the top of my rucksack. Build quality is very good.

I use this for my business when out and about (which is always) and have a good deal with ee for data each month. The display on the device is good to see amount of devices connected, data used per month (If you set this up), battery remaining and network password. I have also set up a 'Guest' network where the password changes each time I power up the device, good for letting someone in for a time. You can make multiple changes to the device either through the Aircard app or via the normal webpage type interface page.No touch screen on this one and I don't think the navigation button is the greatest on the unit but that's just a minor niggle.Overall a great little mobile (MiFi)

I have two of these devices, one for myself and one for my wife. It's probably one of my most valuable travel gadgets.I get a great signal, much better that my phone. I also have the netgear antenna, but it's not adding as much value as I thought.The interface is easy to use. The battery is on the small size 2000MAh, but what I do is to leave plugged in on a battery pack and it works all day.I wish the simcard was easier to access. If you use nano sims with an adapter, sometimes it's tricky to get the sim out.The baterry life and the simcard are minor issues in my mind, that's way I bought a second unit after having used the first for about a year.Good job Netgear!

I travel all and a mobile hotspot with a huge data simcard really helps me. The menu is intuitive, and simple to use. Don't do what I did and not read the manual and hit the keys to setup. I chose Spanish as the default language. I then had to read the manual THOROUGHLY to work out how to factory reset the device. Lesson learnt (probably!). this device, when used with an EE card, has got reception in places where previously I have had ZERO reception. So I am impressed. I use it with the app, so that I can control the setting better. All the info is on the screen though. Life changing device for the tech savvy traveller.I use it with an EE 6GB card, also bought on amazon.

This is a well finished product and is sensitive and works even in poor signal areas (For me)I am very satisfied with the purchase and am connected to the EE service for my Internet connectionIt was supplied with a protective film over the small LED screen. It has been in use now daily for about3-4 months, and the protective clear film is still in perfect contact - still protecting my screen- as it'sin a harsh environment and has rough treatment, (Often dropping on the floor). I have no hesitation inrecommending the "NetGear" for a good connection! ~Allan~ UK

I love this device, it does what it states on the box. The mobile wifi works in any environment and I have found that it never drops connection. My previous mobile wifi device was from EE and this was for ever dropping connection and it was difficult to determine whether the device was on or off. The display panel on the Netgear AC810 gives you all the relevant information you need and with it being a touch panel it makes life so easy when making adjustments. This is a must have device if you regularly use a computer on the go.

This is a really useful product. Yes I can use my phone as a hotspot, but this is handy to keep my laptop connected while on clients site and off their guest wifi. I had a 3 sim available and in this item, the download and upload is better than my BT broadband at home when hooking up to 4g. The screen is a nice touch, the battery lasts a good time, it'd easy to charge. It's about the size of a pack of cards so easily portable.The next test is in the car to allow the kids to connect while we are on the move.

Battery life is very good.I wish it had the reassurance of a mechanical power switch rather than having to hold and press - software is strange in that, if powered off, when you plug in to charge it automatically powers on and you have to shut it down again - why? The web interface and Android app are both good and stable but the layout could be more intuitive to speed up finding specific options.These are relatively small niggles - it's the best mifi I've used.

This is a great product. Works straight out of the box although you have to provide the micro SIM card. Very effective for use in the car or on holidays when Internet is not available. You can connect several devices at the same time such as iPads, mobile phones, etc and use them simultaneously on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz networks. I experienced no Internet dropout whatsoever in several weeks of use. Throughly recommeded.
