    1 :i have netgear ac 810 its possible to use it without battery when its pluggued to power i think ac 815 can also support this feature

    2: netgear devices dont have memory slot but u can check their site for full specs

    3: no anwser

    note : the very negative aspect of netgear device is the quasi absence of regular fw updates and their very badly support

    u can read this page :https://www.netgear.com/service-providers/products/mobile/mobile-hotspots/AC815S.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic#tab-techspecs

      Hello Akido

       

      we do not recommend using the hotspot without the battery inserted. The new battery algorithm we rolled out on AC815S does not allow usage without the battery.

       

      AC815S does not have a memory slot so customer will not be able to purchase an SD card. Device will be carrier locked to AT&T.

        Hi

        as i talk to AT&T support team they sail me if you purchase a non-contract s815s (199$) you could unlock it after 2 month.

        now the carrier aggregiation of my operator is 1800+2600 do 815S support this two frequencis? 

        4G LTE Advanced Cat 9 + 2 x Carrier Aggregation (up to 40 MHz)
        LTE: Bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 17, 29, 30
        and what about 810s do this model support CA 1800+2600 ?
        the raeson of use device without battery is i use it as a modem in my house and work. my question is if i don't remove the battery from device is it possible to battery be dameged beacuse continus charging (24hr charching)?
