Cons: the on button is annoying when plugging in it does this activation thingy..... really annoying works everywhere in fl except north up by lake city in the rural areas.

Beats Wildblue Hands Down

Living in the country, the only high speed internet option we used to have was sattelite internet. We were using WildBlue and hated it. Upload and download speeds were signifantly lower than promised and we lost the internet frequently whether it was sunny, or cloudy, or raining, or snowing, etc. And when it snowed we would have to clear off of the dish (we didn't have to clear off the Dish TV sattelite). With the MIFI and Verizon wireless, our upload speeds have been close to promised (which is blazingly fast compared to WildBlue) and we have never lost our internet connection so far (we have had it about a month). I would highly recommend it for those people who cannot get cable internet. It is not as fast as cable but I am sure it is much faster then DSL (which we don't get either).

I love my MiFi

I have several of these, I use them everywhere, constantly, unless I have access to a faster Wi-Fi connection. Although, I prefer the fastest Internet connection in the world, always; I take my 3G MiFi with me everywhere I go. Hint, don't let anyone know you're carrying a MiFi, they'll all want to piggyback on it.

Five Stars

Just what I needed to keep my unlimited internet service going. will buy again.

Amazing WiFi

I purchased this product about a month ago and have nothing but good things to say about it. It should first be noted, that this product is most effective where Verizon's 3G signal is strongest. First of all, the MiFi 2200 is an amazing little product. It's battery life with two users is about 3 hours, when fully charged as stated by the company. Secondly, The Wifi signal strength is broadcasted very strongly, and works with full speed everywhere in my home. Also, even with 2 or 3 users at a time, surfing speed on the internet is really not affected and is almost just as fast as when there is only one user. The product is extremely easy to set up and use. Would definitely recommend 100% to anyone.

IT IS GREAT!!!

I am very happy with this device. It connected to my unlimited verizon service without any difficulty. I'm so pleased!!!! It is better than the devices sent from Verizon to get me to be on 4G.....now I can use 50GB if I want....It's UNLIMITED!!!!! Verizon gets mad!!! TOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!!!

Changed my life

I call this my "magic Internet card." Like the older Verizon Air Cards, the MiFi generates a WiFi signal anywhere, but the MiFi can support up to five devices at once and does not need to be attached to your computer. A few quibbles: 1. The power button shows when it's on and when the charge is dying, but you can't tell how *much* charge you have left or how long it will last. 2. You can recharge the MiFi card by plugging it into an outlet or into your computer's USB port; when it's plugged into my USB port, however, it doesn't seem to generate a signal. 3. For people worried about radiation levels, you probably won't want to carry the MiFi card on you (like in a pocket) since it does tend to heat up.

Killer App in the Internet Age

I've been inside and out of this device and want to share. BTW, I absolutely love it. VZAccess: Use of the VZAccess software should be periodic, as I was using the hotspot function solely for about two weeks then one day of extensive use I charged it by with USB and continued to internet using VZAccess. That is where I found out the device updated cell sites using this software once a week. So use VZAccess every once in a while. Otherwise, functions are adjusted with 192.168.1.1, admin, in WiFi hotspot mode. These are available through web interface: Without password: -Battery level and Cell signal strength and type (1x or EVDO) -Continuously updating (without needing refresh) session data counter. It is not too accurate in the sense, example: watch youtube videos few minutes, 8 MB builds on the counter, then minutes later the cell tower may do something, and the counter goes back to 0. Not too often, but enough to not rely on it. Great to watch as you play with firewall settings to keep data to a minimum, example: just launching iTunes if you last left it in the Store tab, is just under a megabyte. With password (admin): -Change your wifi settings like channel, SSID name and visibility, password (shown as text, not ***), and WEP through WPA2. -Make the device open, secure, or create a temporary hotspot with new password to share the connection (might want to change the 192.168.1.1 admin password if they are pranksters) -View how many and what MAC addresses are connected, also MAC filter. -Time to standby: idle time 2 min - 60 min, or always on. -Best of all, a resettable total data counter that is very close to the Verizon wireless site data usage. Physical aspects and usage of the device. -It sits in my wallet after I cleaned out some cards business cards, so it is not an extra device I have to carry. -It gets very hot and I imagine the heat dissipation parameters are upset while it sits in my wallet, so I am aware and take precautions. -It must power up and operate (transmit) while wall charging. -The LEDs are very bright and disrupt a dark room with one flashing and one steady green; replaces flashlight apps on iDevices. -You will not leave this device on all the time. Standby mode requires hitting the button anyways. A WiFi request will not wake the device. It takes about 30 seconds for me to have connectivity either way Hope that helps with filling the gaps of information not provided by Verizon. Once again, this is the killer application to have internet most everywhere.

Love this old dinosaur. We have an unlimited plan we've been grandfathered in on since 2002. When our MiFi died and aAssurian couldn't replace the device I was afraid we would be losing our unlimited data. Thank you for having a replacement. We use over 100gigs of data a month. We love this thing.

Great Portable WiFi

A great way to bring High Speed 3G network speeds with you, wherever you go. I've been using the MiFi for a month now and I've gotten 3G everywhere I've gone, even at home. I live way up in the foothills and even get a signal here. Its even faster than my regular internet link through [...]. One problem though is the 5GB per month limit. I only use it at home when I need 1.5MB service for a short while, otherwise I take it with me on trips to town and visiting my daughters in the Bay Area and Sparks, NV - all good 3G places. Since you can have up to 5 connect at once to the WiFi I can use my laptop and iPhone on the same network when I can't get an AT&T 3G signal, and friends can get onto the internet when they visit my home. I highly recommend the MiFi.
