Does port forwarding work on this device? My old mifi has it disabled so I hoped this newer model would work.

It has a port forwarding configuration, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I haven't tried all that hard, though.

Sorry but I haven't managed to make it work myself. I was just told that my ATT gateway needs to be set up so that it recognizes the IP number of the Netgear device; otherwise, it won't let it into the network. Good luck! Did you try to find instructions online?

Thanks very much, that worked for me (Linksys router and Xoom with Android 3.1). Mine is WPA but the problem was that I was using the password I made up, when the Android 3.1 OS wanted the security key (many characters).

I read the answers to this and tried using mine with one port. It worked, so I attached it to a USB extension cable, raised the adapter, and my WIFI signal increased 15%.

No, it doesn't. However, you might want to check with your admin, some ports might be disabled in your current set up.

The device connects via a WPS button, so your MiFi would need to have one. Never tried it, but assume that would work. A more basic question for you though is why you would need an extender, since the MiFi itself is so portable. Unless you're needing to extend signal into an area that gets no AT&T; reception, might not find buying this very useful. All the best

Answer: This device is a Cable Modem. It does not provide gateway/router functionality. Sorry

I've learned that there is more than just one way. You can start by trying to unplug it and plug it back in Or, Switch it over to the Wi-Fi and then switch it back again.It works for me it should work for everybody.

No. I connects via USB, Ethernet, or WiFi. If using WiFi, be sure that your WiFi base station uses a high security protocol; it does not work with older protocols.

Hello,I actually sent mine back and just went to Verizon and bought one. I never even opened this one. The one I bought from verizon was a MiFi and I Love it . We connect up to 5 laptops and the speed is fine. We have a plan with verizon and pay $10.00 a month for it. I believe we have a 3 gb plan

I just got mine today, and it worked immediate on v2.0.1, but I upgraded to the latest version on the website as of 3/8/2015 (2.0.7) and it would no longer connect to my router.... it would say it was trying to connect but never would. I downloaded 2.0.1 which was what mine came to me on, and it worked correctly again on that version. I would say generally to anyone looking at this product, try it out of the box, and if it does everything you need it to do, then don't upgrade the firmware.

You need to download the app. If you already did you need to make sure that you have "port forwarding " set up on your router.

Not sure about the number of devices I have 7 devices that are wirelessly connected and it does have port forwarding its pretty good router and I have used several

The WET610N only acts as a wireless media connector (passthrough) which allows your Ethernet-only devices to connect wireless to your WiFi network. It does not have advanced settings like port forwarding.

Comcast installed today (old one died). Phone (landline) works. Built in Wifi weaker than my standalone. Haven't tried the 4 router ports yet.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

Hi Vespasian - I did have issues but what I found is that you have to be REALLY REALLY REALLY patient. I'm running the latest firmware (V2.0.5?) and for the longest time unplugged the device as I felt it degrgated my network performance and introduce other issues (i.e. I had issues connecting to the router that it the Sabrent was connected to). Today I decided to give it another shot. I ran SpeakEasy speed test (10x) on both routers that I have, the plugged in the Sabrent to the router (U-verse so it's the one "DSL modem" as well). The Sabrent showed it was connected to the router & I could access the internet on my laptop when connected to the Sabrent, working as a host. I then attempted to connect my laptop directly to the router which the Sabrent was connected and I couldn't - but I could when connected to the other router. I was ready to downgrade to V2.0.1 but on the time it took me to download and switch things around the issue magically resolved itself. YMMV but for the last few hours I have been able to access the internet on both routers (w/o going through the Sabrent) as well as stream music to multiple devices. There is still an issue with lag between my Airplay devices (laptop and jailbreaked iPhone 3GS running AirFloat which turns that into a receiver). Just be patient - my experience is that this isn't the fastest devices but in time my issues were resolved. Good luck.
