Is anyone using Wi-Fi In Motion?
We are exploring this option and are wondering if anyone has experience with it. I know it is expensive, but I like the idea of a secure connection, in fact insist on it, since I do online banking, bi...

I can also VAP my 4G hotspot through the router and achieve a much wider coverage radius.
schneid .... very interesting!!
I have a Wilson rooftop antenna on my RV and a Wilson amplifier feeding a Cradlepoint MBR1000 router inside the RV. I just purchased a Verizon prepaid-plan 3G/4G Jetpack hotspot for the RV to replace the 3G-only Verizon wireless modem I used to plug into the router. I don't know what you mean by "VAT" ... how do I gain more WiFi range from the Jetpack by somehow feeding it's WiFi signal into the MBR1000 router for it to broadcast instead of, or in addition to, the Jetpack's WiFi signal so as to take advantage of the MBR1000's greater WiFi signal range?
(Thanks in advance for any help you give.)
Just let your Cradlepoint treat the Jetpack as if it is any other wifi source. Connect the router to the Jetpack and then connect all the devices on your network to the router. We do the same thing with our WiFi Ranger router.
VAP just means Virtual Access Point which is what you're doing when you use this approach. As schneid noted it is good with Tengonet or other park systems that limit the number of connected devices. To the park's AP your router looks like one device even if everything on your network is connected through it.
