MOFI4500-4GXeLTE-SIM7-COMBO 4G/LTE Router with Upgraded 2 x Cell Antenna AT&T T-Mobile Verizon SIM Slot with Band 2,4,5,12,13,14,17,66,71

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.

This review is two years over due. We live in an RV full time and there are very few choices on how to get internet and work on the road. It was a little hard to get the router to work in the begging but with help of a neighbor we got all fixed up. Yesterday the router stopped working with the Internet, I lost the signal and went online to the their website and sent an email to MOFI... with in 20 minutes I had a reply and a phone number to tech support. My router is up in running this morning. Had to do a hard reboot. I was so worried that I may have to buy a new MOFI router or go to Star Link and pay $599.00 and then $135.00 a month. This ROUTER is the best even works under trees. Now if there is no cell tower around like in Prospect OR.... This router does not work. We also use the directional antenna to boost the signal strength. We have been all over the USA... and this router works in motion as well as we are traveling down the road of life. These people that write bad reviews are either not calling the help desk or not put in the data that makes the router work. They have a help desk.

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.

I live rurally with trees , hills...so I am always looking to upgrade each year on my WiFi.I bought the mofi for mimo and that it had a sim slot (ATT towers nearby).It’s not that hard to set up ! You put the sim (in the big slot in side of router) in then plug it in . Get on your device (computer, tablet , phone {phone is a little difficult due to screen size} ) Get on Firefox , Safari or other browsers but not Google Chrome, or Edge! Connect only to the mofi router by via browser byType in http://192.168.1.1 At this point you are not connected yet. You will change or “reset” the password that controls your router page ! After that you will make a password for your router. After you make a password for just the router not your control page you can log in and use the wizard to connect .It’s not that hard! Ask me anything !! I am a geek ! Nerd whatever!!I love testing everything it’s in my nature!I will give y’all an update on how she compares to my booster and yagi antenna!!

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.
