Works GOOD - (but see details)....

ByKev100on August 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

Product works pretty good....considering what it is having to do (split a cellular data signal).

Keep in mind, though....nothing will be as stable and consistent as plugging your card directly into your computer (but then you couldn't network / share it either....or not very easily anyway).

Given that....the Cradlepoint is pretty stable and worth paying a little extra for, IMO (compared to the Netgear products).

Assuming your cellular device is working properly, you should be able to just plug it in to the router itself...connect the cables like you would with any other router....and turn it on.

After waiting a minute or 2 for the connection to initialize, you should be ready to go - IF CONNECTING VIA A DIRECT ETHERNET CABLE.

To get the WIFI going, you'll need to enter the wifi password, which is different for each device (it comes password protected right out of the box) so see the included little card (or side of box) for yours.

TIPS:

Some carriers will periodically update information on the actual 3g/4g device itself....but that can only occur when the device is plugged directly into a computer running the carrier's software. SO...before installing this device, make sure that your 3g/4g device is fully updated.

ALSO.....the CradlePoint itself periodically has Firmware updates. Be sure to check these often. Of course, you must be connected to the Internet to do this.

SO, even after you have this device installed and running, once a week or so, turn it off and connect your 3G/4G device directly to your computer and Update it (if your carrier does this).....then disconnect and plug it back into the CradlePoint.....then power the Cradlepoint back up.

AND...once a month or so, log into the Cradlepoint and check for a Firmware update (or...why not just do it the same time you update your 3G/4G card?...you can be connected to both at the same time).

After installing several of these....I've noticed that keeping everything updated seems to make them run as good as possible (much better than if you don't).

FINALLY - You WILL need to periodically turn the Cradlepoint OFF...let it set about 30 seconds or so....then turn it back on....just to reset it.

For whatever reason, the unit will periodically just drop the connection....but it should not happen constantly.

On average, I've found that most users need to do a reset about once a day, give or take.

While I have not used many different brands of 3/4 G routers....I kinda suspect that most need of them need to be restarted periodically just because of the nature of a cellular connection.

P.S. - also, check your data usage OFTEN if you have a data cap (will need to call in or go online...if your carrier provides a way to check)...b/c once you network your connection.....usage tends to increase.

Best Router for MIFI

ByCamron Dunnon April 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I had struggled to find a way to connect my Verizon Mifi2200 to my home network for internet access (very rural so any form of wired connection is not possible). Had even used an old laptop configuring the IP addresses so it would be the gateway computer to the internet. Without being connected to the gateway computer the Mifi only puts out 5 IP addresses wirelessly so I was limited on how many computers and devices I could have on the network. Once I connected the Cradlepoint router to the network and plugged in the Mifi2200 to the router's USB port I had instant connection to the internet with all my computers and devices. It is fantastic. I had always needed to tweak the network settings before, now I have not had to touch anything on the network for several months except turn on my computer(s), (or TV, Bluray, backup drives, smartphones.....) and I am instantly connected. Isn't technology great?! For anyone that needs/wants to connect a Mifi to a network I highly recommend the Cradlepoint routers. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Everything in my house finally works on one router!

ByRickon October 14, 2010

Verified Purchase

I purchased a D-Link dual band DIR-825 router for $180 that is now collecting dust because it just didn't work with all my wireless devices, their tech support is horrible the firmware updates don't addresss the problems and taking control of my laptop a tech from one of my wireless devices was still not able to forward ports etc... he couldn't believe what a piece of garbage the D-Link was... anyway, now to the Cradlepoint MBR 900. In minutes it was up and running. I was easily able to navigate and set up everything I needed on my own as I have always been able to do prior to the D-link waste of money. I have an "N" band wireless laptop, a "G" band wireless laptop, a VOIP phone, a wi-fi Blackberry, a GE Simon 3 wireless internet home alarm system, ROKU for Netflix and a 3G Verizon aircard backup failover/back-up protection all plugged into the Cradlepoint MBR 900 all working with ease. Setting security on this router was a few minute breeze! Cradlepoint MRR900 also has a screen to "reserve" a DHCP device which I needed for my home alarm system. That took 3 seconds to do by myself and everything is working pefectly! I would have paid $350 for this. Thanks to Amazons great prices and Cradlepoint making the very best routers available in the world I would have to say this has been my best purchase in a VERY long time! Thank you Cradlepoint for restoring order to my life! I love the fact that as soon as my cable broadband service goes out that my Cradlepoint router quickly turns on my Verizon aircard to restore internet service to my home alarm system and all my other devices in my home. The second my cable broadband is back up the Cradlepoint turns off my Verizon aircard so it only uses time from the aircard when it is needed saving my aircard minutes. So that is a cool feature if you have an aircard? If not it's nice to know you can always use an aircard as a backup, or for that matter Virgin Mobile now offers unlimited 3G internet aircard for $40 so you could run your entire home off of just that with this router. I'm tied into Verizon for now. It's nice to have the choice if you want. You can use it as a regular run everything router or you can expand to all these really cool features. If I can run all of this on my Cradlepoint router I'm sure you will also be very pleased with this purchase not to mention it's about half the price of my worthless D-link dual x-treme N band router.
