While it is accurate that not all bands are supported, for the most part it should operate acceptably.  I'm probably going to buy one as well, knowing that it is somewhat of a compromise. But nothing really acute. As a frame of reference, our Homebase - which is the original - also does not have all the bands. This can limit my speed in "certain" situations. But frankly, for just browsing and not heavy duty speed requirements, it really does not matter if I have 20 mbps or 40 mbps. Both are acceptable. In a particular set of circumstances it may be that the device is not optimal. And also consider its lifetime. I expect to replace it within 2 years.

 

Howdy!

Jack, I also have one of AT&Ts homebase accounts with 300gbs plan. Do you know if you are able to remove the sims card from the homebase unit and place it into another hotspot. We are beginning to have problems with our homebase unit.

Just looking at the dome I see no way to look inside without some disassembly. Someone said TOGO inserted the SIM before it ships. Ah wait I see a card inserted into a slot near the bottom. The slot is indented and covered with a piece of lexan about the size of a large postage stamp. If you remember what those are...heh. So you could pull a couple of screws and get to it.

I installed mine yesterday.  Physically very easy to install.  Logically it’s a PITA.  The software is very clumsy.  It does not install gracefully using an iPad.  BTW, you MUST use a mobile device to install and manage it.  They used to have a web browser interface but they’ve done away with it so if you don’t have an Android or IPad/iPhone you’re SOL.

The first installation attempt was using my iPad.  I ended up getting tech support on the phone.  They themselves don’t like the program.  We ended up switching over to my Android tablet to install it and it was much better.

We’re getting about 12 Mbps down/15 Mbps up where we’re sitting.
