Another Verizon here. We have ours plugged into a wireless router also. My wife uses it while we are on the move. Works great.

Sprint Sierra Wireless 595U here and a free Google email address.

Life is good.

I have had no problems with this setup.

Verizon USM 150 here. It has worked all over the contry. Some aircards do not have a way to use an external antenna,so that would be something to ask about prior to purchase.

I'm also a Verizon user. It works great, but I'd like to share. What router are you using?

I do it. I use an external Wilson Truckers Antenna and a Wilson 3 watt amplifier, which helps as we move around. Air card is inserted into a wireless router, so I can use the laptop anywhere in the MH. I use Sprint.


We do the same thing except with Verizon.

I use Sprint has worked all over the country except where i bought a house in Alabama, have to drive a few miles to get it working from there. The Wilson may be the solution. Am so close to recetion, but so far away.

We use ours AT&T Aircard all the time. We check weather, gas prices, or anything else that we need to check. Once in a while we will get kicked off line, but it is really great. Plus, we can keep in touch with all of those important to us as we travel.

We have Verizon as cell provider and got their air card for our upcoming trip.
I know the only place we wont be able to use it is going through Virgin Gorge outside of Mesquite, Nv.
I know most of the RV parks do have WiFi but I feel it isnt as secure as using a dedicated server.
