The Netgear AC810 mobile router, released nearly a decade ago, remains a relevant device for LTE network users. Built on a Qualcomm chipset, it supports 256QAM technology and 3CA carrier aggregation, while featuring a removable battery and external MIMO antenna ports.
The device allows for stationary operation via QC 2.0/3.0 power standards without a battery. Its factory IMEI is recognized by mobile operators, which helps bypass restrictions on specific data plans. The router also supports TTL fixation and custom automation scripts.
Community-driven reverse engineering has restored full control over the device's OS. Users can access SSH, Telnet, ADB, and DM over TCP interfaces, as well as the entire file system. Advanced diagnostic tools like EFS Explorer and QXDM are compatible with the hardware.
Key features include manual LTE band selection and Cell Lock functionality, which can be managed via the touchscreen or web interface. Additionally, the router supports running a VPN client, allowing users to bypass operator restrictions and enhance connection security.
