We have received our evaluation unit of the latest Verizon 5G mobile hotspot device - the M3100. Join us for a first look at what makes this new hotspot unique, and if it's the right choice for you.
We'll be putting this device into head to head testing with all of Verizon's current line up of hotspot devices and perhaps some routers. Our premium members can follow along with our testing results and eventual review.
Inseego has provided our evaluation unit at no charge, however we have no affiliate with them or Verizon. And they have not compensated us to create this video. Our funding comes from our premium members so we can create unbiased content.

Just in case anyone else is looking for this answers, you need to make sure the cable you are using is a DATA cable and not power only. As soon as I switched my cable and went into the network settings on the Mac, the MiFi showed up as a hardwired connection and I was able to successfully connect to the internet with wifi turned off via usb tethering.

@tlteal Год назад

This device is JUNK and constantly reboots , shuts down randomly just like older INseego models. No, there’s no software update for the firmware……. Just not a great solution for someone like me looking for a solution hat stays online and doesn’t constantly reboot. When it reboots, it wants you to push the power button and that’s not possible since I have tech remotely that I’m managing/monitoring.

@MobileInternetResourceCenter Год назад

We've not fielded many complaints about this unit like that - so it might be isolated to either your device (call Inseego for warranty support) or poor signal conditions at your location. For remote management however we recommend routers, not hotspots for this reason. www.rvmobileinternet.com/routers

@Planeviz Год назад

I have one (VZ); looking for another solution. If I'm right next to a tower I can reliable stream out 1080 at 3000 kbps. The trouble is that 5G towers are few and far between and the signal is not robust. There is also no way to program it to use 4G LTE if you know in advance that 5G will be iffy. I didn't know about routers when I bought it. If you need a reliable signal get something with an antenna.

@MobileInternetResourceCenter Год назад

Indeed.. a mobile router can give you many more options for tweaking performance. Here's our overview of hotspots vs routers: www.rvmobileinternet.com/cellular-devices

@MobileInternetResourceCenter Год назад

There are routers that support Ethernet and USB tethering - you can start your research at www.rvmobileinternet.com/routers For external antennas, that would have to be ports on the hotspot itself.

@kunkun3287 Год назад

Online data point shows inseego might have some issue with long hours plugged in. Some did mention after 16 hours plugged in it’ll go to battery preservation mode, which keeps the battery at 50-60% level. Could be inconvenient for you, or not, depending on how you use it. If I leave it charging over night only to find the next day when I get out the device is 50% charged I would be pissed, so imo not a good news. That being said not much complain about it online so I wonder how that still works out for many. Not a clear answer at this point. I would very much hope owners can shed some light
