I currently have a straight data card with a Cradlepoint 3G router to use my Verizon USB760 data card over WiFi. I want one of these hotspots for most daily use, but I want to be able to hook it up to a real router since I can only get 5 devices connected to this. I don't want to maintain two services nor do I want to just get the standard data card to plug into the router.
I need the old setup for when I conduct meetings while travelling. I can't count how many times the router and data card saved my @ss. But every other day I would just like to stuff the Verizon hot spot in a coat pocket and use 4G to surf with my 3G :( iPhone, 3G :( iPad, and laptop. The 3G experience on a tablet leaves a lot to be desired.
Hopefully this next set of 4G LTE USB dongles (which still aren't announced yet apparently) bring compatibility with some of the routers designed to accommodate current 3G WCDMA dongles.
