The Acer Hotspot Connect M5 has a battery life of up to 12 hours. The duration may vary depending on usage, but it should be able to provide reliable Wi-Fi coverage for multiple devices for an extended period of time.
A repeater should theoretically not be a problem, but the WLAN on the device is very poor. It has about 10% packet loss. It only works well via cable (via the Ethernet port). I recommend deactivating the WLAN and connecting a separate WLAN router to the Ethernet port. The WLAN repeater can then also be operated together with the separate WLAN router.
I believe that this is possible regardless of the provider, if they release the corresponding bandwidth (according to the subscription price).
the subscription price. However, the subscription must be 5G-capable, otherwise only 4G works, prepaid ask the provider if it really supports 5G, but also depends on the maximum released bandwidth).
I use it because I only get 100Mbit/sec via landline and I don't have fibre.
I use a We Connect WiFi for 20.- Fr/Mt from Sunrise and despite minimal field strength (one line in the flat) I achieve
500 Mbit/sec.
According to the subscription, up to 2 Gbit/sec is possible.
Please first compare the field strength of the corresponding provider at the place of residence, Ev times a device with sim card of the provider with Max field strength, or let assure that there is enough field strength. it also depends on whether in the

I use a DWR2101 from Dlink in the craft room in the neighbouring house, but I have better reception conditions there.
I have no reception with the PWR2101 (with the same sim card) in the same place as the ACER...

The Connect M5 is fast, give real 5G speeds, depending on the conditions of your network. ( hundreds of MBPS )
But I returned it because it randomly disconnected during the nights and I had to restart it on mornings,
As I need it for work that was not acceptable.
For non profesional use, is very good for the price
