Great for home users

We consider the MBR900 to be the best "entry level home-use router" and think it will become a very popular choice for those customers who want the greater WiFi N range, and don't think they'll even need the additional bandwidth that load-balancing can provide across multiple cellular modems that the MBR900's bigger brothers like the MBR1000 and MBR1200 can provide.

In addition to the single USB port, the MBR900 features a 4-port 10/100 (megabit) ethernet switch; a single ethernet WAN input to allow for use as cable/dsl/satellite router; 802.11N WiFi through two non-detachable antennas; a power on/off switch as well as an on/off switch for the WiFi radio.

I have been very pleased with my purchase of the mbr900. I use the novatel 551L data modem with this cradlepoint product and it performs flawlessly. The latest firmware, 1.8.1 is required for the novatel 551L to function in the mbr900. Since my data modem is through Verizon, I have my own functional network in most of the U.S. Outstanding wireless range with the mbr-900 and one can connect a non-wireless computer via ethernet cable. Great for home and travel. Outstanding product! I did however, set the unit up manually. The instructions were a little confusing. One set said to use the setup wizard and another set said not to use the setup wizard. Manual setup was very easy. Still a great product!

Nice, easy to use and set up. Still having issues trying to connect to my Direct TV to get all the shows downloading properly but this is a nice unit

Setup was not as easy as its made out to be! the disk the 3G gives to assist you with set up needs some better directions! Once I got the 900 running it works well.

3Gstore Comments:
In looking at the support notes it looks like there were 2 problems. First was that you made your own ethernet cable and it wasn't working (a purchased one did work). Also, your computer had a manual IP Address setup, so it wasn't getting an IP from the router, after we had you switch to Dynamic IP, it appeared to start working immediately. So, it appears that many of the issues were not MBR900 related. Glad that everything is working and glad that you purchased from us.

This router is truly awsome. It maintains my 4g connection more reliably and just as fast as when it was directly connected to the computer and makes sharing the connection as easy as plugging in a cable or doing a wifi connect. Couldn't be happier with the results.

Used with my Pantech UMW190 modem, Verizon 3G broadband has been exceptional.

The MBR900 works well with my 4G Verizon. I was so pleased with the telephone support to get me on line.

Date Added: 05/28/2011 by Gary J. (Apache Junction, AZ)
Fantastic for my internet/printing needs at home...We live on the fringe of AT&T service coverage area and the Sierra wireless aircard and CradlePoint Router are the best of team mates. I have also purchased a CradlePoint for my Motor Home and cant't believe how well it works with the Wilson Antenna and booster for extended coverage. Lastly, I really appreciate the hands on support from your technicians at the 3GSTORE!!!!! Gary J.

hasnt worked well

3Gstore Comments:
You know that you get 1 year of FREE tech support from 3Gstore.com (other resellers will refer you to CradlePoint who charges you per incident to talk to them). So, give our tech support department a call @ 866-3GSTORE x3 and let them help you.

Date Added: 05/25/2011 by Daniel R. (Vidor, TX)
Not sure where the problem is. I keep dropping signal and have to unplug and reconnect. Could be the fact that I was warned not to use remote antenna with my new wireless module (VL-600) or it would destroy the internal antenna capability. Overall I am not happy with what I have. Verizon may be a major part of the problem.

Works very well with usb aircard hardwired to computer, but signal strength to remote portable devices and computers in the house is inconsistent...sometimes ok...other times not available.
