As I see it, the issues have to be with either with how the router implements WiFi over WAN or how the device (MiFi or phone hotspot) "behave" when used in this mode with the particular router. As far as the cellular network is concerned, I can't imagine that the MiFi and the phone are perceived as being all that different. Sure it's possible that the MiFi is in some way a poor device, but I have no reason to believe that.
I happen to use a phone's hotspot, but a lot of the issues reported by MiFi users with respect to network "pauses" are virtually identical to what I experience and I'm pretty certain what I am seeing are network, not phone, issues.
