Very Slow Speeds on Nighthawk M6

hey guys, my netgear nighthawk m6 is giving really slow speeds, like 0.4kb/s. i’ve tried all settings, resets, and optimizations and updates but no change. even other devices connected to it also get the same slow speed. any idea what could be wrong?

  • Have you checked with the ISP supplying it? Thats usually where I direct people to start as some ISP's need specific hotspot settings or don't allow hotspots.

    what kind of sim card are you using with it? by that I mean, what carrier and what plan? is it a voice+data SIM card? speeds on this device is very much dependent on the carrier.
