For best results use antenna, would help if port was provided for higher bandwidth antenna. Battery Life is good. Issues with app not recognising device, workaround log in manually from phone browser then start app and all is well again. If you can get 200aud or less it's good value.
I bought this to provide WIFI in our caravan when we travel. It was simple to set up but hadn’t really had opportunity to use then I had my NBN go offline while working from home just yesterday, so got out the Nighthawk on Telstra 4G as a back up and I was able to have a video conference with 5 cameras operating in different states of Australia and it was a clear connection, no speed issues, no pixelation - I was getting about 20-24 Mbps download, approx 13 Mbps upload speeds. So, I’m pretty happy!
