    WiFiRanger Router Review

    a future version of wifiranger may support multiple cellular modems, but not this one. you are correct, the external antenna to the WiFiRanger would only improve wifi. i am still in dallas, near 35 and 635. how long are you in melissa for?

    WiFiRanger Router Review

    I'm excited about a new mobile broadband router that just came out. You can read my entire review at: http://j.mp/wifiranger THE BOTTOM LINE The WiFiRanger has one feature that no (current) mobile broadband router does: WiFi as an internet source. Beyond that hardware feature, I'm pleasantly...

    Sprint or Verizon???

    the iphone has been able to legally tether for some time now: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574 whether or not a rumored verizon iphone can tether at launch, remains to be seen. after all, its still just a rumor... though it does seem bound to happen sooner or later.

    Sprint or Verizon???

    Ray... if you are thinking verizon... you may want to struggle with alltel a couple more months and see if the rumors surrounding vzw iphone with 4g/lte come true. if i were you and pulled the trigger now.... and then verizon DID come out with 4G phone within next couple months... i'd end up...

    New Verizon Mobile Broadband Plans with 15% Discount.

    just FYI, these MiFi devices can be connected via USB cable to a Cradlepoint MBR series router which feature WiFi N radio to provide greater WiFi range than what is built into the MiFi. So, when on the road, you could take the MiFi by itself, and when you are at home, attach it to the...

    New Verizon Mobile Broadband Plans with 15% Discount.

    if you are asking about WiFi range to/from the MiFi... its only about 30ft. if you locate one in typical living area of just about any RV, your WiFi-enabled devices should see it fine.

    Verizon 3G service: $80/mo for 10GB

    Multiple sources are reporting that rumored "tiered pricing" for Verizon's data service will start on Oct. 28 Among the options rumored to become available is one that provides 10GB of data for $80/mo I think its a good thing that verizon realizes some folks could really use more than 5GB of...

    $40/mo unlimited, no contract data plan

    that is correct. virginmobile service only offers either a USB modem or their MiFi. their USB modem can be used directly attached to a computer, or attached to a cradlepoint router that allows multiple computers.

    $40/mo unlimited, no contract data plan

    The MiFi is fine for most people, but it has a couple of limitations: first, if ever you want to improve cellular signal to it, you'll need to spend more money on a repeater instead of just an antenna because it doesnt have a jack for an antenna like the USB modem does; second, the WiFi range on...

    Yes, the cradlepoint should work fine with the MC760 USB modem. is it too early to jump ship? maybe. at the very least, don't cut vzw until you've tested vm for a couple weeks? a month?

    $40/mo unlimited, no contract data plan

    there is nothing from verizon that is faster than the USB760. sounds to me like a ploy to get you to renew a contract with them. if your verizon service is working well for you now, i see nothing currently available from them that would make me renew a contract... except maybe for a cross-grade...

    are you considering replacing your verizon service with virgin mobile service? if so, and you have a cradlepoint router, i'd suggest you get the virgin mobile 760 USB modem that has an antenna jack. you might need a different adapter cable to use your antenna with the 760 USB modem.
