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.)
That be VAP for Virtual Access Point. It is one feature of the DD-WRT firmware hacks to routers. I do NOT use it when my Galaxy S3 has a connection to VZW. I use its HotSpot. I use the DD-WRT router where theere is no cellular data especially where the CG has TengoInterNOT. It only repeats the signal although it will repeat it at a stronger output. Tengo.... will only allow one login. Using the VAP, I can login on one device through it and then connect all my other devices to the VAP. I would rather eat dirt than use Tengo... but sometimes it is all there is. The I eat dirt.
NOTHING, my opinion, beats VZW 4G. But if there is NO signal, there is no joy.
Google DD-WRT.
