ZTE Mobley with ATT unlimited plan to replace my HughesNet

You may have a problem with a BELKIN router.. i do,, others I can not tell you about but the others I've used no tribbles.

You should be able to move it so long as you have service

I use such a device on occasion with a different carrier.. have not tried to connect my Belkin to it yet as... Well... No signal where the Belkin sits at this time,, This will change.. The ability to use both it and my Phone as a hot spot is kind of nice.

So you all realize that when used in your vehicle plugged into the OBD port the Mobley can and will upload vehicle data to AT&T?

I opted for a used AT&T Unity MiFi device purchased from eBay for $50. I then activated it on my AT&T plan which has shared data. No chance of big brother watching my driving habits or it being stored away in the cloud. Works at home, in the car, etc.

My point was the Mobley is designed for vehicle use and that's what I agreed to sign up for with ATT.

I use mine exclusively at home. Works great with the 120V adapter. There is also a USB adapter available with will allow you to tether to a router is your router also allows an internet connection via WiFi.

I just bought one last week to replace our local internet provider which had recently become worthless in terms of being able to use in the evenings.

I got the mobley online from Best Buy and then took to my local BestBuy to activate it. Purchased an AC power adaptor from Amazon and it's been smooth sailing since. Getting speeds up to 15Mbps vs the 0.2 we'd get in the evenings with our old provider.

If you are presently using HughesNet satellite service because you have no cell phone service the Mobley will not work. Make sure you are in an area where you can receive AT&T cell phone service.

The Mobley will work fine in your home with an available 120VAC power adapter. To connect it to your home network, your router needs be one of the makes/models with a "WiFi as WAN" feature that will let it connect to the Mobley's Wifi. With that connection, if you connect your other devices to the router instead of the Mobley, there will be no need for anything to switch networks as you move around the house and out of range of the Mobley. I use a Cradlepoint MBR95 for my "WiFi as WAN" router, but that model has been superseded by the MBR1200 as I recall. PEPwave and WiFiRanger are two other popular brands for "WiFi as WAN" routers. My Mobley just arrived at my mail forwarders, so I haven't had a chance to play with one yet, but I'll be setting it up for both 120-volt and 12-volt portable operation with suitable adapters. I also have AT&T's 250GB/mo $60 plan with unlimited phone service, but that unit is a bit bulky for portable use. The Mobley and the $20 unlimited plan will make a nice addition to my connectivity and be almost as portable as a standalone hotspot.
