What customers say
Customers highly value the Nighthawk MS90 satellite for significantly boosting WiFi 6E mesh coverage, effectively eliminating dead zones with its fast tri-band performance. The integration into the existing Nighthawk system via the app is generally smooth. However, the core sentiment revolves around two key trade-offs: the premium price point raises questions about overall value, and some users report intermittent stability issues, including occasional disconnections requiring reboots. While the hardware delivers top-tier speed and expansion capability, potential buyers should weigh the substantial investment against the need for occasional software maintenance to ensure consistent peak operation.
