on the top side there is an upside down micro USB connector and a small antenna connector (this was my final selling point). the bottom side there is a LED indicator, the guide describes all the colors but the basics are solid purple is connected to 3G, flashing means activity on 3G, solid green is connected to 4G and flashing green means activity on 4G. On top there is a "e-ink" display that indicates signal strength, roaming, battery and how many clients connected (up to 5). I got home, plugged in the SIM card, put in the battery and powered on.
Currently this modem is not available in store, if you get one be sure they order a SIM card for you. Verizons 4G operates in the 700 mhz band and requires a SIM card however it is NOT GSM. It is one of 2 4G capable hotspot devices and it is also capable of 3G and 1X.
I paid $49.99 (I was buying several devices at once and I get a work discount, normal price is $99 after $50 mail in rebate). It is also only available in store at corporate stores. I don't know any specifics except you must currently have a data line with 3G equipment and be upgrading to 4G equipment. I used my data lines upgrade last year to get a new phone so I was not eligible for upgrade on that line however big red is apparently offering a upgrade for some customers with data lines to upgrade to 4G equipment. Monday Verizon released the MiFi 4510L 4G modem. Last season I got a Cradlepoint CTR350 with the UM175 and have been very happy with it. The unit had no external antenna port (which is necessary for some of the areas we go) and the WiFi was inoperable when charging (which was plain stupid). I acquired one of the original Novatel MiFi 2200's but returned it after 2 hours of use. Since I have not yet seen much traffic regarding the Verizon 4G modems specifically this unit I thought I would do a review of it.Ī couple years ago my primary internet method was a Pantech UM175 USB stick.
