Is anyone using Wi-Fi In Motion?

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.

Hmmm ... I guess I'm missing something here.

I think that the Jetpack connects to the Internet through cell towers and then transmits a wireless WiFi signal all around up to about 30 feet ... the same as the Cradlepoint router does whenever it has a USB cellular modem plugged into it (except the Cradlepoint has much greater range).

How do I "connect" the two routers together ... with no cellular modem in the Cradlepoint and while the Jetpack is communicating with a cell tower for Internet access and then broadcasting it's short-range WiFi signal?

How do the two routers communicate with each other in such a way that I can have the Jetpack be my Verizon device but use the Cradlepoint as the dominate WiFi broadcaster to make use of it's greater range? :h

Your Cradlepoint router has the ability to connect its network to a variety of internet sources. Traditionally most sources such as cable and DSL modems connect via Ethernet ports. As you noted, the Cradlepoint can accept a USB modem directly. However, it also has the capability to use "WiFi as WAN" in which case it connects to a wifi signal broadcast by another device and then "re-broadcasts" that signal to the devices connected to its wifi network. For example, you could go to a campground and access the local wifi network there and re-broadcast that signal to the devices in your RV. Or, alternatively, you can let the Cradlepoint connect to the wifi signal being broadcast by your Jetpack and distribute it to your network.

If you are unfamiliar with using your Cradlepoint in this manner, I suggest you review your user guide and possibly contact Customer Support for assistance.
