Primary internet provider went down. Days before I could get service back...this little box was just what I needed. Only connected 3 devices but speed was satisfactory. Streaming did use a good bit of data (normal)...A couple of issues I had...because my home wi-fi was down, I had to go through the phone number listed to activate...after holding for a total of 90 minutes, never did get a human at Boost Mobile. Recommend online activation...that was super fast! Also, I was told I needed a Reboost card to get activated...not true...the website prompts an initial online purchase of $25 or 50 for data...Reboost cards work AFTER that initial purchase.

I was not sure how good this would work but bought it anyways because reviews were good. Needless to say it was better than I thought it would be, My kids both connected their tablets to it and were quiet from MI to FL. Best $50 I have ever spent. I can reload it with 10GB whenever I want. I'm not sure but I think you only have a month to use your data otherwise you lose it. Wish it would roll over....

I bought the mobile hotspot for our family's vacation trip. With my wife and I having a week left of school we needed to be able to use our laptop for half of vacation. The little portable hotspot worked great to get the job done.

Fast small and easy to use good battery life can plug in as wired hotspot or use Wi-Fi mode

My findings were that most of the time,I would have hard times connecting with anything above a single bar. My phone at home would have 3+ bars while this device would barely be connected. The only time I had a solid connection was in Portland, OR while downtown. Even then, somewhat fleeting. I climbed above 1MB/s just once. Ease of use was fine - I had no real issues getting it up and running, so if the connection was solid, I'd be happier. For what it was, it was adequate.
