CRADLEPOINT IBR600 or Wifi Ranger

[Jimf1234]

I kind of like the new cradlepoint ibr 600 but I'm wondering if anyone has actually used it yet? It looks like you can add external antennas and it has wifi as Wan. http://3gstore.com/product/3729_cradlepoint_ibr600le-vz.html

One thing to check..... The Cradlepoint I HAd, did not work with Flitered Wifi connections, which many CG's use (Tengo). WifiRanger does work with filtered connections. Make sure to consider this.

Yikes! $600? There are a couple of Cradlepoint routers that do WiFi as WAS and unless you have some specific commercial need that requires the IBR600 I would suggest that you look at the others. The MBR95 does it all and should work fine for most users for less than $150. There are a few steps up from there but the differences mostly have to do with how far away you can get from the router with your computers.
The WiFi Ranger is a good choice as well, however, I am having issues now which I have not been able to get any support for from the Ranger folks. I have no idea why since I have been a beta tester for their products for many years. It gives me pause to be able to fully recommend the product at this time.

Spendy! And limited to Verizon. (Not that there's anything wrong with Verizon).

I use the MBR-900, which also has WiFi as WAN. And works with my existing Verizon 4G stuff. Also much less expensive. Add in a Surf Mini for the WiFi external antenna, still much less expensive.
