I have a MiFi mobile hotspot. Could I use this to extend the network, or even create a new network? And if so, how far could it be extended?

Here's a good phone number to call to get quick, expert technical information about the Peplink Pepwave: 866-463-0129.

Yes, mine came with a PDF manual (has pictures), that explains how to do this.The range is much less that it says it can do. I was using to setup wireless security camera's. Between the camera's dropping the signal & the pepwave dropping the signal did not work very well. I use a cradlepoint router for my wireless internet... works much better.

I have used this and Cradle Point for years before Hotspots were avail. I would not use either one. I would change the unit to a Hotspot and get a car charger for it. Why would you even want to use a product like this? It was great back in the day before Hotspots but for the life of me I can't think of any reason why I would use this over a Hotspot. I use the Sprint Netgear Zing in my car and it works great. Nothing is going to be more stable than a product designed for this use and the Hotspot is.

Am not sure what you mean by hotspot but, you just need to go to settings and set it up to automatically pick up any available wifi. Hope this answers you question.

That should work. With this particular range extender you actually create a new network that is seen by the computers in the area serviced by this extender. Technically what happens the range extender connects to the wireless signal from your router. It than sends out a signal, thus extending the range of your router. When you setup the "new" network you are actually just extending your original network. Hope this is helpful

You will need a SIM card that already has active internet service on it! You will also need to enter that SIM's network APN settings into the MIFI modem. (You can get the appropriate APN settings from the network company eg. AT&T)

I did not try to use it as a hotspot. I suppose if you had an externally powered USB hub, you could turn it on with the computer then turn the computer off. I used it in Kuwait and had to dial in with PW for my SIM to use it.

yes, you can. i do not think there is a limitation for how many extension devises you can add to it. it is just like an ethernet line.

This will do nothing to boost LTE signal, but it independent of your plan. It will enhance your non-LTE signal, which is what you will likely only be able to use in remote (less populated) geographic areas.

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

You would need to check with your local provider as network systems are different between providers. However, I have an iPhone and use the hotspot to remain connected without the complications and expense of connecting to my provider.

This creates its own hotspot for devices. It doesn't connect to the Internet or cellular for data.

Unless you are next to a reliable hotspot, I would not discontinue my service. Hotspots have a habit of closing down or adding security, especially if you cause the owner's speed to decrease or in any way interfere with them .

Sorry, Loonlover, I have not found an answer to the question of how to extend the bluetooth range of the base station.

Yes, it can be configured as a pocket wi-fi, using a 3g sim card and a usb phone charger. Very easy. Better be called a "pocket wifi router" when in this configuration. I only use my this way, so I can have my private hotspot in may car or wherever I need it. I hope I have answered successfuly.

In short, yes. Long answer, start reading the documentation. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Hotspot_Introduction

This is not a wifi device you must have an Ethernet connection available, and if do yes you can use it. You would just need to call Verizon again and go through the setup in the new location. Once your return to your original location you would have to go thought the setup again. There are cell phone boosters out there also that are good for traveling but they just boost your phone's ability to catch a signal. This product actually creates its own signal it's like a mini tower.

I use wifi extender, to boost the range. Just set it up as you would as wireless adapter, then when it is done. Your wireless phone/devices will pick this one up when it is near.
