Comparison with Other WiFi 7 Devices
Compared to earlier Netgear mobile hotspots like the M6 (WiFi 6), the M7 Pro offers almost double the maximum 5G speed (6 Gbps vs. 2.5 Gbps) and enhanced WiFi 7 throughput (5.8 Gbps vs. 3.6 Gbps). It also supports a faster Ethernet port (2.5 Gbps vs. 1 Gbps) and faster USB-C speed (10 Gbps vs. 5 Gbps).
The M7 Pro targets mobile connectivity and remote use cases with advanced roaming and device connectivity compared to typical home WiFi 7 routers or mesh systems like Netgear's Orbi 370 Series, which are designed primarily for fixed home networks and start at much lower price points ($149.99 to $349.99 for mesh sets).
