4G LTE USB Modem Dongle Router with WiFi Hotspot, High Speed Modem Wireless Internet WiFi Hotspot Router Unlocked Portable Support 4G FDD: B2/ B4/ B5/ B12/ B17 for PC, Desktop, Laptop, Tablet

the UI is a little bit clunky but it's pretty reliable about connecting even in degraded RF environments like busy airports and onboard aircraft. Under those conditions it's usually got better data speed than my phone.It's Linux compatible (it better be, inside it's a little Linux machine) and acts like any other usb network device when plugged into my laptop or travel router. As it implements a CDC-NCM interface it should just work on any modern operating system. If you can't use usb, it also has a built-in wifi router (which I haven't used except to test that I can connect to it.)I wish there was an easier way to password protect it so that if it goes missing someone can't rack up huge data charges.

I bought this but returned it. If I could have bought a SIM card that it recognized, it might have been worth five stars. When I plugged the modem into my Linux laptop, it automatically made it the default network route via USB. Alternately, when I plugged it into a non-PC USB for power only, I was able to select it to be the default route via WiFi. I easily logged into the the on-device website in my browser with both methods. Those are the positives.But I was never able to transfer even a single byte through it.In spite of the apparent quality of the product itself, they gave no helpful information on what kind of SIM card to buy or who to buy it from. My favorite MVNO company said their SIM would work so I bought it, but it didn't. The micro-SIM fit perfectly, but only six of the eight spring-loaded contacts on the modem made with corresponding contacts on the SIM. The LED flashed red, meaning it didn't recognize it.The flimsy little instruction paper that came with it was printed with such small type that I literally needed a magnifying glass to read it. The diagram showing how to install the SIM was unhelpful even under magnification.Most such devices have a PDF manual you can download from a company website, but if this one has either a website or a manual, I couldn't find it.I ran out of time fighting with it before my trip, so it was worthless to me. Very frustrating. I don't know if it would have ultimately worked well or not.

Product flashes green or flashes red, it does not become solid green meaning it is connected to the internet. I got it to work a few times, but 9/10 it does not connect to the internet.

The upside: This device does work and I can connect to the internet with this device.The downside: It will not work on my MacBook.I was able to get this device running and connected to the Internet using my iPad, but everytime I tried to connect my Mac into this Hotspot through wifi, the Hotspot will reboot, and the behavior was consistent, which is unfortunate. I tried searching this problem up, which led me to booting my Mac into Safe Mode to troubleshoot, and the problem persisted.I tried to mitigate this problem by plugging this device into my Mac directly and getting internet that way... Unfortunately, MacOS does not natively support USB tethering, or at least the kind that this device uses. I've tried to install the Mac driver that came with this device, but it was too out of date.Cluing into the fact that the driver was called "RNDIS", I tried searching for an up-to-date driver with the assumption that whoever developed the firmware took an off-the-shelf driver they found online. That led me to finding a driver called "HoRNDIS" which also turned out to be out-of-date. I tried everything I could to get it to work, from turning off SIP, re-compiling the driver to ARM, downloading a forked version of HoRNDIS, and using a version of HoRNDIS I downloaded off a youtube video. The last one did actually install, but it would not use my hotspot for internet despite the hotspot being recognized by my Mac.Basically, I wouldn't recommend this, especially if you're on a Mac, it'll be a waste of time trying to get this device to work.

So, far it works well. I had a problem connecting while outside.

I have had this gadget for about a year now. It still works. Easy to use. I live in Jamaica just so you know. It works with the service providers there. Just get a sim.

Got it to work once. I may have had a bad Sim part of the time. Or I tried so many times I broke it. No company would sell me a plan over 50 GB/MONTH. Slow compared to ethernet. T-Mobile refused to keep trying.... They tried one time! And washed their hands of it.

It’s alway drop out wifi, and i have t mobile,
