You have to keep in mind that its only going to work where you get cellular reception.
If you're looking for a hotspot, there's the MR5200 being released with 5g

Not sure exactly what you're asking here?
- sasha123Dec 04, 2020AspirantAs I mentioned I am looking for a solution wich can support an area of approximately 20m of receptions so my neighbors could connect to it too and still get a good wifi connection.
I saw another product (netgear orbi 4g lte) which works with orbi ac to solve this same problem (of distance from the router and walls in between), and as I said I am looking for something which works with 5g and only the product you shared here works with it but the question if it would work with wifi range extenderes or not like the nethear orbi 4g lte- plemansDec 04, 2020Guru - Experienced User
You're correct in the orbi is only 4G.
Once thing to keep in mind with the MR5200 is that it always has an ethernet port. So you could always connect another router to it if you needed a better router for broadcasting.
