I have an AT&T Netgear AirCard 815S. It is working well. But I have 2 questions The battery is charged from a USB3 cable. Once the battery is fully charged it says “please disconnect from charger”....

There have been reports of swelling batteries if the charger is left plugged in. Before my 815S died and I switched to an LB120 modem (so I could use a better router) I used to leave it plugged in all the time with the battery removed.

I think when you plug into the laptop USB you will be just charging. I suspect that the 815S could use this connection in place of wifi but I imagine you would have to configure that.
