Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this item on Amazon (got it very quickly). This was exactly what I was looking for after reading an online review (Ecoustics.com) of the Zyxel MWR211 portable router.
I love that it turns my Verizon mobile broadband card into a MIFI/personal hotspot. This has helped me countless times while stuck at airports allowing me to take full advantage of my WIFI-only Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet computer. For example, I was at Chicago's O'Hare airport last month and my flight was delayed. The MWR211 allowed me to fire up my Samsung Galaxy Tab and download a few movies in time for my flight. I was able to enjoy both movies during my 3.5 hour flight.
In Mexico City, I was able to catch the MWR211's WIFI signal via my ROKU streamer that was hooked to the hotel room's TV and was able to watch Netflix seamlessly.
In Lake Havasu, the house that we stayed at had no internet nor any satellite- or cable TV and again, the MWR211 coupled with my Verizon mobile broadband card saved the day. We were able to download movies on Amazon VOD and watch HULU Plus. Furthermore, the kids were able to download apps on their various tablets and mobile media players.
Another plus is that if you are in a hotel room with a free (ethernet) internet connection, the MWR211 will also create a WIFI hotspot from that wired connection so that you can use multiple wireless devices within your hotel room.
Setup is very straight-forward (it's as easy as setting up a home WIFI router) and the manufacturer provides a list of mobile broadband devices that are compatible with the MWR211. I like that it automatically logs-in my Verizon broadband card for me without having to start up the Verizon software and having to manually connect. Also, I did not have to install any software on my laptop.
Battery life is rated at 2 hours which is fine for me since I'm usually plugged in somewhere and I don't surf all that long while waiting for a flight.
Overall, the MWR211 very easily provides a MIFI experience while on the go. I highly recommend this product.
