Live in a rural area and needed to use cell service for a wifi across two buildings. Tried a Hotspot and it just didn't cut it. Picking up signal was spotty and the wifi wasn't strong enough. Ordered the mofi to see if it would fix the problem. Set up was simple. I took the card out of my Verizon hot spot and put it in the mofi. Turned it on and it worked without even running setup. Did go through set up to set security. I added a yagi antenna mounted to the top of one of the buildings and took the time to point it and confirm the cell signal. I went from one bar with the hot spot to 4 bars with the mofi and the yagi antenna. Wifi is strong and services both building perfect. If you order this and the yagi antenna that comes up as a suggested product there are no issues with attaching the external antenna or setting this up. Its been running for about 2 weeks now with no issues at all with constant great cell connection and constant wifi. I did go directly through Verizon for the service and the card. There is a 30 gb limit before they throttle. But thats no different than Hughes net and the speeds are a LOT faster.

I’ve been using these modems for many years. They are a great 4G/LTE cellular modem that will work on just about any cellular network. The only problem I’ve noticed over the years is if you want to cut down on buffering of videos, you’ll have to use a third party WiFi access point to have the best experience with this product. I’ve had issues with buffering while customers watch Netflix, etc with the default WiFi antennas. After installing an access point like the Ubiquiti access points, this seem to fix the buffering issues. The one BIG problem I have with this vendor is if you have a performance issue, and contact them, they will respond to you but will make it sound like it’s user error and cut you off on the communication if it appears that they may have to exchange it for replacement. For this, I have given them 1 star and I have the emails still to back up this claim from the vendor. Very disappointed in the way they handled my issue and as a result, I have started purchasing PepWave modems from Amazon.

We used for 3 weeks before discarding cable (rude and never offered to lower even when told them we were looking elsewhere, now want to offer discount). YouTube does buffer, but it does that on my moms Wi-Fi at her home and it did with our previous cable provider.We run our security cameras straight into the Mofi with no issues. Hubby streams A LOT. He has been home for 3 weeks due to tonsillectomy and now we all are home due to having covid. Yesterday we had 3 TV's, the cameras and my laptop all running off it with no problems. As we all have unlimited data, we have not connected our phones to it.I had a rough time setting up as I'm not as tech savy as I used to be. I later found better directions that hubby must have set to the side before giving to me to set up. I went on YouTube and was able to find a video to set up pretty easily.Per directions, we are set up in the highest point of the home. Thankfully, by a large window. It's also the furthest point from our main TV. So far no problems with that.I didn't rate tech support as I only tried to call once. I didn't get anyone at that time, but was late evening.I would suggest before buying, do your research. We watched a ton of videos on how to make this work for our area. I feel it has worked out so well for us because of all the research we have done.Cable/internet: 1478.64 yrMofi internet: Approx 300 yr (unlimited) + cost of mofi network!That's a lot of savings!!!

I noticed my particle smoke detector picked up smoke I unplugged my mofi and havent used it since and my sensors have not reached the same levels. Could've been coincidence but maybe not. Great item overall between reading about malware on routers the lack of firmware updates and my smoke particle detector triggering ive mostly retired my mofi but it was good when I needed that signal boost and a unlocked sim holder. That was my experince!

I have a lab that needs internet access in an area with no internet service, but does have cell service. First I rigged up a Wifi extender that had an ethernet port. Connected that to a firewall, with my lab behind the firewall. But I was usinbg data and ended up with 6 phones subscribing to 30GB a month of hot spot data each over 4G. When the network would slow to a crawl it meant I had run out of data on that phone and switched to a new hotspot phone. I was using between 150 to 180GB of data a month.With this device I took the SIM card from one of the phones and placed it into this MIFi. The data with this device is not seen as hot spot data but instead is seen as cell phone data. There is a warning that you may see speed drop offs after 75GB of data but that has never happened to me. The drop offs are based on congestion and, out in the middle of nowhere, my cell service is never congested. It has good size antennas so the reception is much better than when I was using cell phones and therefore the connection speed is much better.
