Will the Orbi work with my AT&T Velcity Hot spot? We're moving to the boonies but get 4G. The hot spot is our only option, well except for Hughes net, and I want to make sure we get the best internet signal available. Thanks! null

Hi Juju -- the Orbi is designed to work with an ISP that provides an Ethernet connection for Internet (e.g., from a cable or DSL modem.) If your hotspot provides an Ethernet output of open Internet, then you may be able to use it with the Orbi. (This will depend on the model of hotspot, provider you're using, etc.)

This device used your current network and expands it within your home, it does not receive outside internet signals. but yes, it definitely helps.

It works plugged into the Orbi base router but as with other systems the signal does not pass thru to the satellites.
