Reckon I am just too curious sir, so I purchased a load balancing router and am in the process of setting it up. It has 1 Wan port and 3 Wan/Lan ports and 1 Lan port. Just now I have my Wan port plugged into my Nano Powerline Adapter which ends at my DSL router about 200 feet from my RV. I am trying now to figure the best way to connect my ZTE Mobley to one of the available Wan/Lan ports to see if I can get any good results.

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 I use a Cradlepoint MBR95 for my "WiFi as WAN" router, but that model has been superseded by the MBR1200 as I recall.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.

I never questioned why you should have a Mobley in your RV. That's obvious. I have had one in my RV for nearly as long as the offer first surfaced.
It's the power line thing that doesn't make much sense but if you are happy that's great.

I found the same thing with my car. Even with the ignition off the Mobley still works. I guess that's why the time out option would be really important. Do you have anything in the Mobley interface that shows you can connect 10 devices? I don't know how 1 VM6200 can connect to 5 devices and another VM6200 can connect to 10 devices.
As an aside, why would you need something like the Mobley and powerline devices in an RV. Your RV must be a whole lot longer than my 40 footer!
Yessir to your first question:here is how I manage the device:
http://ufi.ztedevice.com/index.html#home
When I go there it shows me the devices that are connected.
Your second question requires a much longer answer, but my RV is 31 feet in length.
Why I need the mobley in my RV? Because it gives superior performance over the Park's wifi service and I am paying $22/month, so why not use it? It is unlimited and produces broadband speeds versus my Parks WiFi which has DSL broadcast over 3 directional wireless-N atennae from Amped Wireless being shared by 60 RVs.
This test is using my mobley inside my RV
This test is using my Park WiFi via my PL adapters
My rv is setup for BPL access using nano technology which I have shown to be superior to WiFi in previous posts.

This is why I was asking how he accesses the Mobley. I get in via attwifimanager/index.html. I was wondering if there is another way offering different settings.

I just can't figure out why that device is not listing on the ZTE website. The only Mobley listed is the 5 connection device and it shows the same VM6200 model number.
