My work provided me a crappy wifi hot spot...when I saw this, I jumped on it, as I have AT&Tit works superb, quite shocked at how well connectivity is....not sure why it beats other wifi hot spots, but in my experience, it does...so many variables, no blanket statements...but for me, this thing rocks!easy set up, assuming u r somewhat tech savvy....will use in RV as well, a perfect application where coverage is spottyhighly recommended....

The pro of this type of setup is that this kit includes an external cellular antenna that will be more likely to provide high quality throughput than would your cell phone were you to use that as a tethering hotspot (in other words, you'll get better cellular service connectivity with this than you will with a cellphone at any given location)
