Review on πŸ“Ά AT&T Sierra Wireless USBConnect Momentum Global 4G LTE USB Modem by Matt Kucrud

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sierra Wireless 313U UNLOCKED

DO NOT PLACE THIS DEVICE INTO A LAPTOP UNTIL READ THIS IN FULL. CANADA) the software in the USB modem installed itself and the modem attempted to go online to download and install the latest ROGERS ISP client software and modem firmware updates from the Canadian carrier. To work around this, FIRST download and install the latest version of AT&T Communications Manager, then plug the device into your laptop. I use an MBR1000 hotspot so I had to install it on my laptop first. If you are using a mobile router it will work fine, just turn off "automatic modem firmware update" over the internet. Mine has been running at AT&T for about a month with no problems. >>>> UPDATE: JUNE 13, 2012 << << This 313U modem is now practically useless if you are an AT&T customer. This device will NOT receive AT&T firmware updates (06/14/2012) and AT&T refuses to give you anything over 2G even if you try to update your SIM card on a legacy account. This device CANNOT be used with LTE (here in Fort Lauderdale, FL) and AT&T will not even connect you to customer service if you provide your IMEI number. AT&T states it is NOT on their "approved list". The only way to keep this thing going, at least for now, is to use an old SIM card and not tell AT&T you have the damn thing. At least you still have an unlimited legacy account, but this modem isn't getting any updates, possibly due to an unlock hack. If you live near an AT&T LTE cell tower, be prepared for sustained power outages once they activate the 700MHz band in your area. >>>>BUYER BEWARE<<<<.
