    You have probably noticed that neither Netgear's "where to buy" page nor Amazon have anythiing about this product.

    The announcement back in January said "In April".

    https://dongknows.com/netgear-intros-orbi-4g-lte-wifi-router/ 

    Knowing that marketing is sometimes not in sync with production (and the stupid effect of the Coronavirus on today's world), I would take "in April" with a large grain of salt.

     

    This is just an "Old Fool" talking, but I would be hesitant to rush out and drop $400 to be an "early adopter" on this.  There are a bunch of companies that sell LTE routers that can be put in front of any WiFi system (Orbi included).  People have (literally) years of experience with which LTE routers work well with which cellular providers.
