Style: 4G LTE Modem + WiFi Router
The important update: Yes, I have connected to Verizon 4G LTE service with this device. It works on Verizon, with a Verizon SIM card (nano size). A few quick notes, then the longer saga is below: 1) You will want the IMEI (device ID) from the box the router comes in (on a sticker with the serial number etc.). 2) Verizon would not let me use a SIM card that was already activated for another hotspot. I had to get a new SIM card from Verizon to make this work. 3) After ordering the SIM card from Verizon, I then had to contact Verizon to activate the SIM card. I needed the SIM card number (ID, or ICC ID) and the IMEI from the router. 4) Once the SIM card was properly activated, the router connected to Verizon 4G LTE with default settings, no username or password, no changes to APN or other settings. I did restart the LTE connection through the router interface; turning the router off and on again should work fine too (in order to make it retry a connection that had failed on its first try, before Verizon activated the card). 5) Until the SIM card worked, it was hard to connect to the router using the Nighthawk app or a wired connection if there was any SIM card in the router. You're better off connecting with no SIM card in the router until you have activated the SIM card you're going to use. My whole goal with this router is to have a router that automatically switches to a 4G LTE Internet connection as a backup when my main Internet connection fails. Other than that, it's just another router. The 4G LTE connection is what differentiates this router. And it works, and the setup is actually very simple. I would say 2/3 of the problem was on Verizon's side, not letting me use a Verizon SIM card I already had. I understand why Verizon does this. Easily 1/3 of the difficulty was that Netgear did not give simple instructions for how to connect to Verizon using a Verizon SIM card. Their device will do it, perfectly fine. If they had included a card with instructions, I would have saved literally hours of experimenting to figure out where the problem was. Once I set up the Verizon card right, the router just worked. More hints and tips can be found in the story below. First impression: In 5 places in the description, Amazon clearly said this was Verizon compatible, licensed with Verizon, Verizon tested, etc. But when I opened the box, a sticker on the shrink wrap clearly said this was not compatible with Verizon. (Another online store says it's not compatible with Verizon. Netgear's site says it is not compatible with Verizon, but they're working on it.) This is important for anyone considering the product. No matter what the description says, think twice if you plan to use it on Verizon. Further notes: This uses a Nano SIM card, not the next size up. The old Netgear product that I'm hoping this will replace (also on Verizon, also not officially authorized, but it works fine) used a larger SIM card. I got a SIM card trimmer from Amazon and fixed that. Most SIM cards you buy new these days will come in multiple sizes, so less of an issue. I will update the review more as I determine real-world compatibility. UPDATE 1: The Quick Start guide inside the box, face up lying on top of the router itself, gives three steps to setup: 1) Download Nighthawk app (iOS or Android), 2) Install the app (which will ask you to sign up for a Netgear account), 3) Use the app to set up the router. Here's the hitch: When you run the app, and it connects to the router, it tells you that the app does not support this router model. End of setup. Nothing further is allowed. This is a Nighthawk router, branded as such on the box. Netgear's Web page that lists router models compatible with the Nighthawk app does not list this model (LAX20) as of April 18 2021. I suspect the app will be updated, and then things will work. But this is unfortunate with a new product. The router seems cleanly designed and appears to have a lot of thought put into it. But the marketers at Netgear should not have claimed it was compatible with Verizon if it wasn't, and they should not have included that card in the box if the app hadn't been updated yet to recognize this new router model. Moving along: On the Netgear site, you can download a User Manual for the router. This offers two or three other ways to link to the router and set it up, similar to the setup routine for every other router I have ever set up. So far, it looks like no big deal. UPDATE 2: Plugged in router to wired network, and connected to it using Ethernet rather than wi-fi. Still a problem: If you put in a SIM that doesn't work, the router gets hung up on that step of setup and won't let you go to the rest of setup. So I took out the SIM I had put in, and I was able to set up the router using the instructions from the manual I downloaded from Netgear's site. A couple of things were a little flaky or confused at first, but it sorted itself out. Router works fine, as a router (wired: I haven't experimented with wi-fi yet). The router will not connect to Verizon so far, but let's be fair: Verizon may be (probably is, according to Verizon) blocking the SIM from connecting when it's plugged into a new device. This is to protect Verizon customers. Verizon is able to check to make sure the SIM is authorized (it is, and it works in its original device), but it also can check whether the IMEI (the ID number) of the new router is the one that's authorized for this account (it's not). So I have ordered a new SIM card from Verizon and activated this IMEI as a new line. I will update this further when that arrives. But: Amazon says this router is Verizon compatible. The sticker on the shrink wrap says it's not. When I go to Verizon's site and give Verizon the IMEI (on the outside of the box), Verizon says that this device will work with Verizon, and it recognizes it as the correct model number of router. So Verizon so far agrees with the Amazon marketing, not the sticker on the shrink wrap. Possibly some settings will need to be adjusted too. Can't tell till the new SIM card gets here. UPDATE 3: New SIM card arrived. Popped it in. Restarted router. No joy. Phoned Netgear. Spoke to 3 separate operators in a 75-minute phone call. None of them really seemed to understand the issue. The one who was most savvy talked fast and didn't listen much. He at least understood how networks function. The others were reading scripts. In the end, after restarting, resetting, reconnecting, when Verizon still was not connected, he said, "So there are no issues remaining, right?" or words to that effect. I'll call Verizon in the morning to make sure the SIM card is correctly activated. UPDATE 4: (see notes above. Yes, Verizon activated the SIM card correctly, and the router started working.) Now that I have set it up, I'll update this review again and add some stars, depending on how it runs in regular use. There have been some serious issues with the way the product is presented, but if it runs, it runs. By connecting to Verizon 4G LTE, it has started doing what I bought it for and what it was advertised to do. For the record, I've had other Netgear products, and I've been happy with them. (I'm using one to post this review.) I have nothing against the company. (I also have nothing against Amazon. I hate to say how many thousands of dollars a year I spend on Amazon.) So I have no axe to grind here about Netgear as a company. I'm just trying to provide useful information for anyone considering this product, or anyone who has it and is trying to make it work.

Style: 4G LTE Modem + 1 Yr Support
I have mixed feelings about the NETGEAR 4G LTE Broadband Modem (LM1300). This product is a little bit of an odd duck, in that MOST people want a modem+router+wifi access point solution - for those people, you might think that a mobile hotspot may be more appropriate. I would tend to disagree though, and I'll tell you why in a minute. The LM1300 looks like a minimal product, and it is. At a package size of a couple of large drink coasters, you get a 4G modem and a barebones router. For pretty obvious reasons, I recommend using this in conjunction with a "real" router. You'll need to source a nano SIM. The EIMI is located on the bottom of the device. All in, setup takes a couple minutes. The built-in web interface is minimal, but includes network information (signal strength, etc.). External indicators consist of 4 LEDs. This is really where the cost-cutting hurts, as THIS IS NOT A REGULAR NETWORK PERIPHERAL. What I mean is that a 2-line x 20 character LCD (or something) would have been more appropriate for communicating 4G signal strength - the LED is nearly useless, and it's not practical to expect most buyers to pop into the web interface to see their signal quality. As for performance, I wasn't expecting much. You see, I got the LM1300 as a failover WAN option. I got it with some level of urgency, too, as I telecommute and managed to take out my primary WAN connectivity with a hedge trimmer in the yard (thanks Spectrum, for not burying your coax). While 4G (or 5G) reception is not that great at my house, I'm generally experiencing that with extremely compromised surface trace antennas on my phone... surely a connectivity peripheral would be much better, right? As it happens, the answer is "no". Ah, but you get TS9 connectors! They look a little like SMAs, but they're even less standard. I got a dual antenna with TS9s for $35 on Amazon, which according to the seller, is good for 9dBi. Some fiddling was required, as the antennas are directional, but I managed to get what I consider to be a good result - about 25mbit/s down, and 2mbit/s up. That's not awesome, but it's significantly better than the 1.25-ish mbit/s down, and 150kbit/s up that I got without the antennas. If you want to really go all out, get some TS9 pigtails, run some coax, and stick the antenna(s) outside your house on a mast (or whatever). That, in short, is why I don't recommend wireless hotspots to anyone that intends to use their device in a fixed location... it doesn't take too much work to significantly improve the performance of the device - assuming you can upgrade it with antennas. As for the completed setup, I'm using an old 1U server to run OPNsense in a multi-WAN, failover configuration. 600/20 Spectrum cable 99.9% of the time, and 25/2 Verizon 4G in case of force majeure. Not awesome, but it keeps the house connected. As for the LM1300, I think it's an ok device, but I do wonder what Netgear was thinking by not including external antennas. I understand cost-cutting, but I also think that plenty of people could/would return this device for awful performance, no understanding that external antennas fundamentally transform this product's capability. Weird. Though some may disagree, I think this is superior to a mobile hotspot in that: 1.) you can easily carry around an antenna, 2.) you can power this thing off of a USB port, and 3.) Ethernet > wifi. Though it's a bummer that the signal strength is not easy to read off of the device, and that external antennas are not included, you can still turn the LM1300 into a usable WAN gateway with a little money and work.
