Does anyone know if these routers are compatible with the Verizon network and, if so, how complicated it can be to set up? I've done a lot of digging around online and have found really mixed results. Any help would be much appreciated!
We recently received Verizon TA for MR6500-100PAS and MR6150-100NAS. Right now, you can purchase Verizon SIM cards from their store when you provide the device's IMEI.
But there is a tricky thing that needs handling first. Since MR6150 and MR6550 on the market were loaded with the older FW before Verizon TA. In order for the device to fully computable with Verizon network, please make sure to upgrade the device to the latest releases.
FW: 12.01.47.00
PRI: 04.11
Thanks

Is there any chance that Verizon will allow the MR6550 to be used with their prepaid plans anytime soon? It currently appears Verizon only allows it to be used with postpaid plans.

Hi rkj001
Pre-paid plans will be available soon. This is still being worked on by Verizon Team. We will provide update once new information will be available.

I have the Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro and I initially set it up on the Verizon Prepaid Plan in December 2023 and they ended up converting it to a postpaid plan on my business account.
So, it works with Verizon on both prepaid and postpaid plans.
Verizon has the 5G Ultra wideband mmwave spectrum.
This is a fantastic device.
