Unlimited Wi-Fi connections. Multiple profiles. Extended-range radio performance. All from a single device that fits in the palm of your hand. The Pepwave Surf On-The-Go packs incredible networking power into a space-saving package that goes wherever you go.
Introducing the Swiss Army Knife of Mobile Web Access: Featuring an array of advanced connectivity options, the Pepwave Surf On-The-Go is one powerful little solution for multi-device, multi-user, on-the-road wireless connectivity. Use it as a Wi-Fi repeater to expand coverage over a wider area. Connect your 4G/3G modem and use the Surf On-The-Go as a travel router. Make wired devices, such as printers, play nice with wireless networks. And share a single paid Wi-Fi connection among your laptop, tablet, and smartphone. With the Surf On-The-Go, you get all the mobile connectivity tools you need in one easy-to-carry, simple-to-use device.
Why Look for a Hotspot when You Can Bring Your Own? Whether you're in the center of everything or the middle of nowhere, hotspots never seem to be available when you need them. But with a 4G/3G modem and the Pepwave Surf On-The-Go, you can create your own hotspot wherever you are, even in a moving vehicle. The Surf On-The-Go lets you wirelessly share your mobile high-speed connection, too, so be prepared: when other wired or wireless connections fail, you might just become everyone's new best friend.
Forget about Profiles and Settings. Surf On-The-Go Remembers. SSIDs. Passwords. Profiles. They're tough to remember and inconvenient to set up, especially when you're traveling with multiple devices and visiting multiple locations. Whether you travel once in a while or frequently, the Surf-on-the-Go keeps all your login details in mind, freeing you to concentrate on what’s important. You can even set up favorite locations and switch between them in a flash, putting you online and in business more quickly and easily than ever.

Pros: ~ Extremely easy to set up. Basically, if you can answer the choices in the setup page, you will be on-the-air in no time. All pertinent configuration details are on one page, and not on multiple pages like my previous device.
~ Supports WEP / WPA / WPA2 / 802.1x. Even though WEP has largely been dismissed by a good part of the community, it is good to have available for backward compatibility with 'older' hardware. This was important to me.
~ Detachable antenna. A big plus!
~ Multiple Profiles: Since we do a lot of traveling, having multiple profiles means that I don't have to constantly re-enter site-specific credentials each time we move. A big time saver!
~ Can be used either as a WiFi Bridge, Repeater, or Client.
~ LED indicators.
Cons: ~ Does not support POE. The Pepwave must be located within reach of a power source, about 5or 6 feet. I'd sometimes like to be able to locate the Pepwave some distance away, in search of a better signal. Or, even mount it inside my 'Rootenna' antenna/enclosure outdoors.
~ 'Extended-range radio performance'. Nice Marketing Speak, but there are no specs on how many milliwatts (or, dBm) of power the radio is capable of, or how sensitive the receiver really is. Some actual 'numbers' for comparison purposes would be welcome. The typical operating range quoted doesn't infer anything to brag about. Perhaps I mis-read the details, though.
In summary, despite the 'shortcomings' noted, it does a fine job for the price, and I'd gladly recommend it
