Hi I’m looking at ‘NETGEAR Nighthawk (MH7150) M7 5G BE3600 WiFi 7 Mobile Hotspot Router with eSIM’.

Maybe I know if:

1. I once bought a cheaper portable wifi, that turns out to be broadcasting hotspot from phone via Bluetooth. I need a portable wifi that works without having a phone nearby. Not sure if nightgear is the one?

2. can I buy eSIM cards online and use it in this machine? Or do I have to buy data from their listed providers? My family is in mainland China, I was hoping to use this machine to use HK data plan eSIM, as a way to get around the network blocking (eg google youtube).

Thank you so much 😭😭
