I was under the impression that cradlepoint would not connect to MiFi units, in fact that's what they told me when I called them. Are they connecting wirelessly or are your MiFi's tethered? Which MiFi units are you using? Also are you able to use park internet with your cradlepoint?
Yes, the WiFi Ranger, Cradlepoint, Asus, Pepwave (likely others) can connect to the parks WiFi using what is called WiFi as WAN. If you are looking at a router you want to be sure that this is an option. Not all routers will do this including some of the Cradlepoint routers.
All routers should be able to connect to a MiFi device wireless since that's nothing more than a wireless broadcast. As long as you know the passcode you are in. The issue is wanting to connect a MiFi to the router via USB cable so first the MiFi has to have a USB port and the router has to be able to support it.
Cradlepoint only lists one Verizon MiFi that is compatible via USB and that is the Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200.
