The Cradlepoint is essential to any mobile internet user, as well as IT professionals. It makes everything a whole lot easier. The router supports many mobile devices. I personally use it for my Clear 4G USB modem. I also have another unit in our security patrol vehicle, along with the company's Sprint 3G/4G USB modem. Once set up, the router automatically connects through the USB modems and creates a WiFi network. The router is also capable of using an express card. There is an Ethernet port on the side of the router, which can be used as a WAN or LAN port. The portability and ease of use makes purchasing this unit a no-brainer. Compared to other routers, this has the most features, along with many security profiles, and lots of support for future devices. I love the signal strenght display on the device, which shows how strong of a connection you get with a USB or express card modem. It makes it easy to place the device in the perfect location to get the best connection. At home, I use my Cradlepoint with 3 laptops and 2 PCs, as well as our Wii game system. In our patrol vehicle, we use the high security WiFi connection with our vehicle's Toughbook. Before we had the Cradlepoint in the vehicle, our Sprint connection was horrible, and the software that we had to use on the laptop made connections and speeds even worse. By using the Cradlepoint, we never have to worry about connection issues again! We have the device hooked up in the trunk of the vehicle. When we get in the vehicle to start our patrols, we just turn on the laptop and go! Before, we had lots of connection issues when we used the Sprint USB modem through the laptop with Sprint's connection software. Now we don't need any extra programs on the company Toughbooks, the Toughbooks just connect to the Cradlepoint's secure WiFi! The Cradlepoint really makes everything easier ans stress-free!Read full review
cradle point CTR500 one easy way to set up a hot spot if you have a USB mobile broadband card. if you have any items that connect to the internet via WiFi then this is a great way to connect. just plug in the USB mobile broadband stick turn on the card and within 30 seconds you have a hotspot of your own. It is easy to program with your own name and security. It is very fast i cannot see any difference between having the USB stick plugged into my computer or via the cradle point router. minor dislike is that it does not have a built in battery so needs a power point to work. now i can connect my tablet via my broadband stick and not have to use a separate account.
I bought this product, after much research, because I wanted to be able to use different devices to get on the internet, and this one allows the use of USB modem from a cellular 'phone company,and an Express card. I am not "tied-down" to the house, and can go anywhere there is a power plug. I Do wish that this model was battery-powered, but that is okay...I otherwise like the product very much. I would buy another Cradlepoint router, as it is a Nationally recognized brand, and can be serviced easily if need be. As to how this compares to others of the type, I am not sure, as I only have my home system as a reference, I have never had any type of router like this before, however, the product works very well for me.
This thing is amazing! Wish I would have known they existed a year ago. I have Verizon Wireless USB V600 for my internet as nothing else is available where I live, and will not ever do satellite again. I got so sick of having to plug and unplug, and use their software to reconnect to the tower all the time. It was frustrating, and time consuming. My parents had a mobile hotspot back in the day. It would loose lots of data eating up the small amount you get every month. This however doesn't do that, and fixes all problems. No having to sign in and out every time. No having to plug into just one computer. No having a USB port used. When I got mine it didn't have the newest firmware on it. The setup walkthrough shows how to check that, and it will automatically upgrade(EASY) You will need to do this to take advantage of 3G and 4G speeds. It works with many different providers, just check the list on their site of compatible hardware.Read full review
Though not in any of the information, This Item DOES Work with Cricket USB Modems. Awesome product, couldn't be easier. In Fact you do not even need a desktop to use. Plug in your modem, Turn on Cradlepoint .. You now have a hot spot. No slow down .. with multiple users at once. Desktop connected, tablet, and Android phone all on the internet at once, 3 people very happy at once. I highly recommend this item to anyone needing WiFi in the House. Also no problems connecting to our Wii. Just wish I would have bought it a year ago.
