What does "flashed" mean for an eBay mifi device?

I've used a Verizon 3G USB modem for years. Trying to reduce my monthly cost. Looking on eBay I see Mifi units that say they are "flashed". I know what flash memory is, but what does this refer to?...

We have a 4510 and we got the mil a 4620. Hers is used for streaming music, ours shares the load with other devices. It is the one that is always on in case the computers want to update.

We got ours through Mobile-solutions on ebay. I did get a bad Photon but they exchanged it for the 4620. You can also get your old hotspot flashed for less.
