I rushed in BestBuy in a panic due to my internet being down, thus being unable to work in my home office. Had a deadline to meet that day. I purchased the AT&T velocity due to the great online reviews and wasn't disappointed. Easy activation and started working immediately, plus the 4G was so much faster than my home internet. I ended up getting way more done in less time. Now I only use only this gadget for work and the home internet just for surfing. Excellent investment.

We actually own one of these and recently bought another one in case I need one and my wife and I are not together. I use it for business on the go and have had no issues with it whatsoever. It's fast and easy to recharge.

After simple initial setup our phones and laptops connect easily. Small size makes it easy to carry or travel, safer than public wifi. We don't seem to notice any difference in performance between pairing with this unit or our home setup (comcast)

We purchased this to work remotely while on vacation. The connectivity is much better than running a hotspot from a cell phone. Set up was easy and no dropped WiFi connection.

Reasonable cost and great range. Have been able to get connection in offices, in the country, etc. If you run out of space, you can pay for an additional gb. If you pay your bill early, you have to ask for customer service or the payment will be applied to the account but not re-activate the acct until the due date. CS will fix that!

I read a review that said the hotspot can be used with a Cricket sim card. So I tried it myself and it works like a charm! Unlimited data for $55 a month. Just don't activate the hotspot with AT&T first, you'll have to wait 6 months before you can change the service provider if you do.

This device provided internet access through the AT&T network; exactly what I needed. The cost is $75 for 8GB of data and you do not have a contract, so you can pay month to month, or not use it at all. I needed it for traveling here in PR and it has provided me access on the go when there were no other service providers working. The battery lasts a long time and it charges quickly. Great hot spot!

I live this little hotspot. I had it working within minutes after purchasing it. They have such a nice set up on it so that you can initially connect as a guest if you're needing to set things up. That was super helpful. It's intuitive to use, and has worked great while traveling in a vehicle near the Pacific Ocean, and also near the Great Lakes, as well as in the city surrounded by skyscrapers. I haven't encountered any disruption areas (yet)! I haven't tried to connect 10 devices at once to it yet, but there were no issues connecting 4 devices. It's easy to carry with me. I carry a very small purse with me, and it surprisingly fits in it. That was a bonus!

I really like this device. It can have up to 10 devices on it. I bought it to go to a conference where Wi-Fi was restricted. I also wanted something in case the power went out. It was very easy to get up and running. I bought 2G for $25. The only thing I do not care for is in 30 days whether used or not it expires. I was looking for something that I could just add to when I needed it. So for $25 a month and 10 devices it is not bad. I will wait to see if I can let it go for over 30 days before reloading it.

Exactly the product you need when you’re in a spot and don’t have Wi-Fi. Easy to set up and connect to. Make sure you change your network setting to show metered device.
CONS. Unable To set up account to add additional funds via the web account

Awesome little hotspot, onscreen menus with touchscreen is very easy to operate, used with At&t, speeds were great but for just for basic emails and work related tasks I used a 2 GB plan in 3 days, make sure you get a larger data plan if you're planing to get it.

I really like this wifi prepaid device it's good for checking email, and surfing the internet. This is very useful if your NOT in a location of FREE wifi and you need to have access to the internet, but if your looking to down load, video stream, watch movies for hours you will use up your data really fast even if you have 5 G data. The streaming alone will eat up your data and you will need to kick out another $50.00 for 5G of data or more depending on your data plan(their are three plans). This wifi device is ONLY best for checking email or browsing the internet on the go. If you need to video stream for example, go onto YOUTUBE to view video your better off locating a free Wi-Fi network this way you don't have to PAY it's FREE. Other than this it's great and convenient for on the go use.

very expensive prepaid $65 for 5 gigs. Too expensive only good for travel . Checking emails.
just to let you know if your internet is out or maybe you're at a friend's house who doesn't have internet /you're waiting for repair or reconnection or whatever your issue might be a PS4 but no internet connection at all.
you guys want to get online and and game it works excellent with that. I can say that it will hook up to any game console easily and it's not slow it's fast 4G excellent for to expensive for me.if you don't mind the data fees

I purchased this for my son to play his xbox during an extended hotel stay. It performed to expectations and he didn’t experience any lag. The monthly plan through AT&T was a bit expensive, but standard for what’s out there.
