This is an excellent example of a type of product that is surprisingly hard to find online. Unlike many cellular/mobile hotspots, this unit is designed to turn your mobile phone company's data plan into a *wired* internet connection. Really handy to use to provide backup internet access to a wired home network or small office network. To be clear, the Ethernet port on this thing is a *LAN port*. Your WAN comes from the built-in cellular modem using your own SIM card from your mobile company.
Setup is fairly simple via the GUI. Putting it into "bridge mode", something that this sort of device will often be used for, is very simple to do.Reception without added antennae is better than my cell phone (using the same Rogers mobile internet) but it also has spots for external cellular antennae if the location you are installing it does not have good reception.
The cord length on the power adapter is longer than some, which is handy. The lights are nice and bright. It has an actual physical on-off button, which is a nice feature that many devices don't provide anymore. Also has an easily accessible reset button. Actual size is nice and small, will fit on a shelf or if wall mounting will easily be held up by a couple of small screws without any need for hollow wall anchors, etc.
Caution for those who are not tech-savvy: This will *not* provide WiFi. It turns wireless cellular data into a wired-only connection. If you want a cellular-to-WiFi type hotspot there's tons out there, but this isn't one. It also will not turn WiFi into a wired connection. It only has cellular radios, not WiFi ones.
