Yes, you can connect your home computer to it. It looks just like any other WiFi to other devices. Data limit and throttling is up to your specific service provider. Although this is an “ATT” hot spot, I use cricket wireless on my ( just a matter of swapping SIM cards )
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use it like that. I connect mine to my WiFi router because it has a larger coverage in my house. You get 22 Gigs until data management kicks in. That just means att will slow you if you are in a highly populated area. I don’t experience that here in Alaska. I also take mine when we travel and connect my Roku to it. It works great and my kids to get the shows they love to watch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The short answer to your first question is yes, but I'm not sure if you fully understand what a mobile router actually does. Just to be very clear: this unit is using your mobile phone data link, account, and mobile plan. It has nothing to do with any other broadband or wireless link that you may have at your home. To answer your second and third questions: Any data limit depends entirely on the terms of your cellular data plan. Link speed is determined by your cellular connection. Any data throttling is also a function of your cellular data plan.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1. Yes you will be able to connect your computer and I believe up to 20+ devices. 2. I imagine data limit will depend on whatever plan you got from ATT. 3. I returned the NH because the speeds were excruciatingly slow - we were promised speeds of up to 60 MBPS but it never got above 5MBPS (this was in the Downtown Los Angeles area on a weekend). ATT tech support confirmed that 60 MBPS is possible only WHEN 5G is rolled out, until then 5MBPS is what one can expect. It wasn't worth the money or the 80$ monthly plan. I'd recommend a traditional broadband connection if available in your area.
