Works great with my configuration

I live in the middle of nowhere and the only way to access the internet is through a satellite dish. It worked satisfactorily, but was expensive - $60 a month on a 2-year contract. I had AT&T for my landline but didn't want to pay them more than $40 a month. I also had a wireless connection from AT&T for two regular cell phones—another $60 a month. So I decided I wanted something better and cheaper. To access the Internet, I bought a Verizon Jetpack 4620LE. I wanted the 4620LE because it was 4G

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • No

Verizon will render it useless

Really ugly. You buy it and then it asks you for a "necessary update". She won't work. Verizon has the exact same model with an "E" at the end. You pay a lot more for it and I bet the odds the fix will work on it. The "tech support" for this company is HORRIBLE. This is the lowest tier of outsourced Indian support. It took me about half an hour to get to the point where the guy told me to ignore the prompt which is EVERY TIME IT TURNS ON. To be honest, most of the blame lies with Verizon, who…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Upgrades

Works best in computers and accessories

MiFi works great in most cases. The signal reception is normal, the device is very portable. It also has an antenna connector if you want to buy an antenna to boost the signal. This device is invaluable on the go and I have no problem using my VPN at work. (Server 2012) I am a pilot. I use this in hotels wherever I go so I don't have to put up with the slow or crazy internet they have. The large battery is available here at Revain. The supplied battery is sufficient for hours of continuous use…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Compatibility

Quirky at best. You can make it work, but it has some quirks.

The battery was practically useless from day one. He never gave me more than 10 minutes without a charger. And eats up a lot of energy. I'm building my own power supply using a small car battery and some voltage regulation circuits. But your standard mobile phone charger will have problems. Add to this the fact that the "On" button. "Off" lies to you and it can be annoying. If you tell it to turn it off, it takes about 3 minutes for it to get into a state where it will respond to your attempts…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
