    Mobile WiFi Calling works in New Zealand w USA sim
    I’m in Auckland New Zealand and have been using another cell phone (Pixel 3) to give me Wifi calling to/from the USA (with Ting sim and account). This Netgear AC 787 has improved things for me….first it maintains a constant connection with my iPhone so I don’t miss important calls from the US…but the battery life is much better than a cell phone…as you can see I had the unit constantly on for 9 hours and used 1 Gig of data over that time…and the battery life remains at 42% (started at 100%).Speed is the same…4g LTE…but connection would drop intermittently using the Pixel as the wifi source…not with the Netgear AC 797. Better connectivity…more reliable connection…better battery life…and it is smaller and lighter than my Pixel 3 or my iPhone 12 mini. Great device for mobile wifi-calling if stuck overseas and needing to be connected back home.

    I want to like it. I have another one that works great so I purchased a second one. It was great when it's working. But now all of a sudden it just died. Purchased in Oct 2023, started using in November 2023. Now it's March 2024, doesn't work any more. Dead, period. Cannot be charged. Does not light up. Nothing.

    I would like to get a replacement or refund, but apparently it's out of the time window. Very disappointed.

    Well the device is great, even though It wasn’t the one I ordered, I order one that says Netgear on the device, I received the one that said ATT logo. At first it took the SIM card from the other vendor ISP company, but it failed to connect to the WiFi internet, it gave me an alert that set check your settings. 🤔. I tired to contact Netgear, the SIM card vender, and even contact ATT support. What a waste of time, contacting these folks. I did research in the internet and I was able to fix the Alert. Apparently the device was still with the a ATT APN, I had to change it to the sim vender, which worked and got connected to the SIM card vender wifi internet. So folks if you brought a device like mine, once you are able to install the SIM card and get an alert first go to settings, look for APN and if it has the APN from the original vender, add the new APN from the sim vender, that will make it work for you. Over all the device works fast and able to get all bars meaning it get good and fast wifi internet connection.

    The mobile hotspot I received was ATT branded and did not work with my Google Fi simcard out of the box. The system asks you to log in to ATT. You can ignore and then change the APN to Google Fi. I used it in the USA and all over Europe and it works exceptionally well. At some point in Europe I had 4G connectivity while my cell phone had nothing (on the same Google Fi account). Happy with the product once I got it working but the description is deceiving.

    Got it used and it was in better condition than I had though. It works great. Tested it with Google Fi phone sim and it was able to detect it after changing the settings on the device. It was able to register the google fi sim and get a signal without Gfi complete setup, but I finished the setup using my phone. I also signed up for Google data and am waiting for the sim to arrive to test.

    Currently happy with the product. The big test will be when I travel out of country. To be continued.

    ——-
    Update (one month later): traveling out of the US and using the googlefi data sim. At first the sim didn’t want to connect, but after checking on the configuration and allowing roaming, it worked like a charm! Enjoyed having access in Germany, Belgium, and Netherlands. Glad I purchased it.

    Product worked for a bit but had an issue while I was traveling. It started saying that there was no SIM card detected which was fixed by reinserting the card. After a bit, it didn't work anymore. Took it to a repair tech and he found that the tray connections were just pressed down and not soldered, so it was easy to break. After soldering, the unit works again, but warning against iffy manufacturing. All the other functions worked well

    I’m in Auckland New Zealand and have been using another cell phone (Pixel 3) to give me Wifi calling to/from the USA (with Ting sim and account). This Netgear AC 787 has improved things for me….first it maintains a constant connection with my iPhone so I don’t miss important calls from the US…but the battery life is much better than a cell phone…as you can see I had the unit constantly on for 9 hours and used 1 Gig of data over that time…and the battery life remains at 42% (started at 100%).
    Speed is the same…4g LTE…but connection would drop intermittently using the Pixel as the wifi source…not with the Netgear AC 797. Better connectivity…more reliable connection…better battery life…and it is smaller and lighter than my Pixel 3 or my iPhone 12 mini. Great device for mobile wifi-calling if stuck overseas and needing to be connected back home.

    It seemed good. Went to the local AT&T store to get a sim card and get set up, only to find that this device is NOT compatible with AT&T 4G. The rep in the store spend 2.5 hours with support trying to get it to work with no success. The support tech eventually concluded that this device is not compatible with AT&T 4G or 4G LTE. They put a ton of effort into it and were unable to get it working. That store had no AT&T hotspots and had encouraged me to get one on Amazon and then bring it in. I don't know if the problem was with the particular unit or with the AC797-100NAS in general. The description states is is compatible with AT&T but it was only able to connect via 3G, which AT&T is shutting off next February. The best we did was 4.8 Mbps download - horrible speed.

    I searched AT&T online and found a store that had TWO hotspots available. Most had none. I dashed over there with the SIM card I had bought for the other device, put it in the Unite Express 2, and it came up immediately on the 4G LTE network and the speed is blazing, plus it was $30 less than the Netgear.

    So, if you want to use AT&T then DO NOT BUY THE AC797-100NAS!

    I used it in Europe. purchased a local SIM card with a monthly plan.
    I entered the pass code and had mobile internet immediately . Using a wired connection works better.
    With the wireless method it disconnects if you stop using it for short time requiring to re-log

    Buen alcance, adquirí dos y coloqué a uno chip Telcel y a otro Movistar y ambos funcionaba muy bien.

    Se puede administrar fácilmente al ingresar a su red. La batería dura bastante. Cine que a cada uno 10 tabletas y todos corren bien al enviar cuestionarios de Google forms.

    I have used a Netgear product before and liked it but was disappointed that this one was not as advertised. I had to return it and hope to get an unlocked device.

    Funciona perfecto con chip Virgin, si alguna vez no carga,,,, solo retira la pila y vuelvelo a armar, es el unico problema que presenta.
