Nighthawk M5 24/7 power

I need a reliable router for 5G/4G while travelling and require it to be powered up 24/7.

 

Will the Nighthawk M5 Router be OK to be powered in this way and also has anyone any experience of it auto changing between 5G and 4G as signals permit while on the move.

    HI Caseyoli

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    If you plan to run the device 24/7, we suggest you to power the device with the PA only without inserting battery. This way, it will avoid the battery from getting hot and impacting the device's performance.
