Do I need both the Freedom Hot Spot and the Freedom Stick Bolt USB Modem?

I have the Freedom Spot Photon 4G and that all I need to provide wifi hot spot for my laptop, tablet, and smart phones. I do not have USB modem. I believe it serves the same function but you can only connect to device that has USB port and only one at a time. Wayne

No. You need only one. If you have a laptop, stick bolt USB model is handy. If you would like to use it with your phone, tablets which don't have USB ports, Hot Spot one is handy.

I use the hot spot only. This is the best thing that has happened for internet since companies stopped billing by the minute! Get the hot spot & enjoy internet at home, or on the go!!!!

Yes, you would also need the modem. The internet provider I am currently using provided the modem, but I needed to purchase the router - so it is not "all in one".

Yes, you need to call them. You will need the various codes on the back of the modem so be prepared for that.

The FreedomPop Hub Burst is a high speed internet modem and home wifi router, all in one.It has 2 Ethernet ports for connection to PC or physical devices. But also you can make 10 wifi devices conecctions

I couldn't say. Might depend on the modem. A word of warning with PCI-E to Mini PCI-E conversion devices like this : Normal MINI-PCI-E spec has both a 1x PCI lane and USB2.0 lines integrated. This devices is PCI signaling only. Your modem will not work if it needs the USB as well, nor will it work if your WWAN/cell device assumes the SIM is handled by the motherboard / adapter etc. You will have to check the specs.

Was not included but has ports to allow for one. You can find one that will work for pretty cheap money. Side note - I probably would not buy unit again with hindsight. GPS sw needed update out of the box and would cost additional $75. Actually use phone gps that this unit now.

HiThere is a 4 pin plug for power and do you have USB 3.0 on your computer now if not it will not work . THX hope this help need more let me know :)

no, but you will be better off using just one. One connection fewer conflicts.

No. You're talking about advanced networking drivers that need installation on a computer to work. You might be able to get an advanced firewall like a Sonicwall with a USB port for 3g modems, but I'm not familiar with your model of USB dongle, so YMMV.

I have Charter and they do not allow you to own your own modem. Cheapskates make you pay for a modem lease. Then they charge you an arm and leg for service. Wish there was another provider in my area.

From my experience working with these units you can only have the access point in one mode. However you can link the Bullet to a switch and have a Nanostation M2 Rocket M2 on that switch, and p;ace it in the router mode to resolve you challenge.

Here are the "Ifs": USB port on laptop, and WIFI hotspot (public or your own private). Yes, this device will connect you to the internet after installation. With Win 7, you plug this into the USB port and wait for the message saying it's installed. Also comes with mini-CD and instructions. Labeled for IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WIFI. I've used this on a laptop (that already had a slower WIFI card--this was a cheap upgrade!), on a desktop computer....It turns the computer into WIFI capable computer (great for updates; our library system has a special office we can do this at). Our local library is a free (and fast) WIFI hotspot. With WIFI network "n", it does get 300Mbps. Here are the "Ifs": USB port on laptop, and WIFI hotspot (public or your own private).

No you have to make sure you are getting a Dual Com unit that phone line and internet ports. VX570 Dual Com 12m SmartCard Emv.

In a word, yes (assuming you have the same model modem). It replaced the same model of TWC modem I had.

different kinds of ports for downloading I am guessing? In US we only need the one.

Yes - that's what I use. But I do not recommend this modem. It lost the DSL connection several times a week and had to be rebooted. The other two modems used before did not do this.
