Your personal Hotspot [Posted on 2008-05-02]
I often do work at a coffee shop that refuses to get wifi because they are afraid people will linger. I regularly have meeting there with others that also need access to a broadband connection. This is the perfect solution as we can all easily share the same EVDO modem!
The coolest feature is the login authentication webpage, where you can grant guest users temporary access to your broadband connection. Also, this may be just my perception, but my connections seem faster with the Cradlepoint than when I plug my USB EVDO modem directly into my laptop.
Coffee shops beware, thanks to cradlepoint, you may have wifi and not even know it!
Great product [Posted on 2008-05-12]
This is one of the handiest gadgets I have. Works right out of the box with my Sprint 595U modem, no setup, just connect and go. Only drawback is I was hoping the battery life would be longer. I get 2-3 hours of constant use, but it's a good trade off for the convenience.
Amazing [Posted on 2008-05-21]
I started to set the PHS300 about 5 minutes ago expecting the typical runaround of conflicts and frustration. Unbelievably it worked first time in seconds.
Connected my Verizon USB720, powered it on, connected through browser based software and Voila! - am online with both MacBook Pro and iTouch.
Super simple. PHS300 slightly bigger than I expected (same footprint as iTouch but twice the height) but despite that it has my guaranteed place in my bag of tricks for when I am on the road.
You won't be disappointed.
Wonderful Product [Posted on 2008-06-08]
Very useful little product.
Very easy to setup and use.
I use it with my Verizon Wireless Broadband account and my Pantech UM150 USB broadband modem.
Creates a WiFi access point anywhere your broadband works.
I also bought the car power adapter and travel case. I can create a WiFi access point in the car, RV, or boat. Works really nice !
Highly recommended for its usefulness, ease of setup and design.
Works [Posted on 2008-07-21]
I had to do a firmware update to get it to work, but after that it works okay. Distance is very limited, I don't get a Excellent connection unless I'm less than 5 ft away.
