Netgear M5 EU - user experiences
Hi, I have been fieldtesting this device for few days now. Does anyone else have user experiences of this device by now?

Currently testing M5 MR5100 MES here in Kuwait, locked to Zain operator. Fresh firmware NTGX55_10.12.13.00 updated today. So far looking impressive, up to 500 Mbps down and 15 up on sub6 GHz frequencies, 9 msec latency, no mm wave yet. Tends to get a bit warm when connected to 5G but connection is stable, no reboots. Battery from 6 to 8 hours of non-intensive use. In 4G getting similar speed as M1 and M2, battery up to 2 days (!)There is no information available on this model, however it's 5G SA & NSA and Wi-Fi 6 so I believe it's equivalent to MR5200 with some specific configuration for the Middle East. With 5G coverage expanding in Kuwait this thing will be in my bag everywhere, love it.

Hi,
Thanks for feedback and you are doing just fine. MR5100 and MR5200 have same hardware, MR5100 is for ISP SKU only and MR5200 is for retail.
- Rst1Aug 16, 2020Aspirantthe MR5200 will be "NSA/SA" compliant, or only "NSA"? on the technical details only "NSA" is specified.
I also need to know if it will have the n28, n77 and n78 bands, the only ones that my local 5G carrier provides.- TeeJay74Aug 17, 2020Virtuoso
It will have both NSA and SA supported and the bands you named.
