Verizon - Jetpack MiFi 8800L 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot - Gray

I Purchased the jet pack in order to broadcast zoom meeting for my daughter’s wedding just outside Zion national Park and it performed perfectly.....the feed was super fast...possibly because we only allowed the single cameraman to connect to it, either way it did the job. We were able to zoom the wedding which allowed more than 300 people to attend the wedding. I paid $200 for the Jetpack, it cost an extra $20 a month to my monthly contract with Verizon but worth every penny to share that special day with family and friends.

Overall, this Jetpack is still the fastest, longest lasting and has the best range/reception. I use it even in my yard, as I get a much better signal than any of my 2 phones. Highly recommended and Best Buy has the same prices as Verizon and is much faster with customer service. Verizon is getting worse and worse with 60 minute waits in-store, while Best Buy is in and out within 10-15 minutes.

I originally bout an MHS900L for use in our summer home in northeast Arizona and in our RV, but it barely worked. I was looking for alternative (DSL and Cable not available up there). A friend loaned me an 8800L and it worked much better. Still get buffering when trying to stream live baseball on ROKU TV, but I couldn't do it at all with the 900L.

I read reviews at other e-tailers that say there are issues with network disconnects for older versions of the firmware. Based on this, I updated my firmware when I first received the product. So far (16 days in) it has worked flawlessly and the connection has been stable with no disconnects. Full disclosure though, I live in an area where a tower is nearby so the signal is consistently strong. I typically get 70 to 100 Mbps down and 15-30 Mbps up.

The verizon jetpack 8800L is working great since I purchased it at the end of November 2020. I used the verizon jetpack 6620L from mid-march 2020 to mid-october 2020, I can't recall any issues on that one. For the 8800L the only missing instruction is that after purchasing it, to recharge it first, then the 8800L will use a bit of internet access allotted to contact verizon, that is how to setup a designated phone number and get internet access in a few minutes. No need to call verizon.

Up for long weekend away and hooked this up in 10 minutes which included adding the device to my Verizon plan. 8 people using it at once and every one has great service Should have done this years ago, Love this device.

Very fast hotspot. I have had multiple others but this one is the best. The other reviews that mention the drop outs are caused by the auto sleep feature. Turn autosleep off if you don't want the hotspot to disconnect after a period of use.

Needed to get internet for office staff working at home without internet service. Devices that are GREAT and I would suggest to anyone needing access to the internet on the go or at home.
