Netvear nighthawk m6 pro: is this a hotspot? All I need to get internet in a rural location?
I don’t know crap about this stuff but I’m looking for a way to get internet in a rural location. Will this Nighthawk work as a hotspot? What are average speeds compared to fiber?

Yes the M6 is a hotspot. The speeds depend on your cellular ISP coverage. So that all depends on the area and cellular service. not something we can answer. You might check on a few things.
1. your isp's coverage
2. the data limit. many cellular providers limit data
3. Starlink coverage. You might have the option of starlink. The benefit is the ability to use more data if that's a concern.
