Information Discussion for Gate Guards
Thought I'd start a new topic for Gate Guards to use for comments. Like the moderator suggested-keep technical stuff, recipes, mechanical, etc. where they belong. Lets hear from everyone sucking down ...

Love my MiFi and not contract.
Tell me more. You do have to have a wifi or cellular signal to use it, right?
Some people have difficulty understanding MiFi (BTW I am NOT an expert)and that it works off of the cellular signal-3g or 4g. If your booster gets a strong cellular signal, your MiFi should work. We have never been able to get good video, if any. But we do have internet and e-mail. We are using a SOHO YX 545 which amplifys an EXISTING signal and it works well. Andy (www.myoldrv.com) has several good articles about boosting your signal and acquiring internet on his blog. We went with Virgin when they offered unlimited internet at $40 a month. They now have added to their contract that they can limit any usage above 5 gigabytes-but we have never had a problem. You can purchase the MiFi used for under $50, or just over $100 new. You should check with your cellular provider and if they offer MiFi. It makes it a lot simpler to have all your devices with one company. BTW-read the fine print carefully as most companies limit your usage-only a few truly offer unlimited usage.
