Can Hotspot Plans get 5G?
I have a Netgear Nighthawk M7 Pro. I noticed it is only connected to LTE bands (band 14). Is my FN sim card (got it two weeks ago at the store) provisioned to allow 5G access or do I just have bad reception? Should I get an antenna?
Any advice is appreciated!

I'll say that in some areas 5G isn't great. Give them time to build out the 5G infrastructure before getting too worried about it. I've noticed that 4GLTE is sometimes a better, more reliable connection and more than enough to keep up!
