That, and its nice to get LTE with a phone that has only an HSDPA antenna.

Tethering a PC is mandatory for my workload and I don't like the red tape carriers put in the way of using phones as a hotspot. In my opinion, its a good idea to decouple the data connection from the phone. I don't mind carrying another device in my pocket since I get a data connection that actually works reliably. I actually use the 4510L exclusively for the data plan on my Nexus S. I'm not sure if its a real signal or if the device is lying to me. The last couple weeks I've periodically seen phantom LTE signals with good stats (-60 dbm, 8 snr) but am so far unable to connect. LTE just went live in Salt Lake and my area *should* be getting it soon. I did about five speed tests in Vegas never broke 5mb and latency was never below 100ms. In my experience the 45010L had trouble switching between 3G/4G and required a reboot to get the signal back. I don't have LTE in my area yet, although I got to use it a little bit in Vegas. Its functional but the GUI is about as pretty as a linux shell.

I actually learned how to write an android app specifically so I could keep track of my data usage and view connection stats on my phone without being logged in the browser interface. My device is never further than arm's length and it would be great to turn down the wifi power.

mlosee222 - Thursday, Jlink Good review, you are spot on about the lack of configuration options in the web front end.

Unfortunately, the SCH-LC11 had to go back to Verizon before the MiFi 4510L came, so I don’t have any side by side shots with that device, however the table below tells the story of how the two compare when it comes to size and weight. Unfortunately the MiFi 4510L doesn’t really bring anything different on those fronts, and as we’ll see in a moment actually is based around the exact same combination of MDM9600 baseband and WCN1312 WLAN with no discrete applications processor.įirst things first, and that’s how the MiFi 4510L compares physically to its predecessor, and the SCH-LC11. Chief among those were 5 GHz 802.11a/n support, ability to change between using the device as a modem or charge when connected over USB, GPS support, and more customization options inside the web control pages. At the time, I was satisfied with the SCH-LC11 but still looking for a few additional important things. I was a bit surprised to see Novatel beaten at launch time by Samsung, whose SCH-LC11 hotspot we reviewed came before the MiFi variant by a fair margin. The LTE-enabled MiFi 4510L next to its older sibling, the MiFi 2200 The deployment of Verizon’s 4G LTE network thus necessitated another update, and Novatel’s answer is the MiFi 4510L, which includes support for the carrier’s 700 MHz LTE and 1900 / 800 1x/EvDO Rev.A networks. Novatel has kept the MiFi updated, but has primarily focused on versions with exclusively 3GPP (GSM/UMTS) connectivity.

For many smartphone users, using things like WMWifiRouter and other similar software tools (long before Android added its own wireless AP) that made a smartphone into a portable WiFi access point were old hat, but Novatel’s MiFi was a nicely packaged solution that was much easier to swallow. The MiFi 2200 is an iconic product that pops up just about everywhere and has enjoyed well-deserved, almost unchallenged success on practically every single CDMA2000 carrier in the US. It’s pretty amazing to me how Novatel Wireless’ MiFi brand quickly became so synonymous with portable cellular hotspots. The SCH-LC11 was a decent hotspot but still didn’t quite nail everything. Since then, one more WiFi hotspot product has launched which we’ve been playing with for a long time, the MiFi 4510L from Novatel Wireless. A while back we explored almost all of Verizon’s 4G LTE network launch hardware - two USB modems, the Samsung SCH-LC11 hotspot, and the HTC Thunderbolt, to be exact.
