There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I would like to get a replacement or refund, but apparently it's out of the time window. Very disappointed.
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.
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 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 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
