How can I hook this system to the internet? My internet service is a Hot spot through Verizon. Uses no router. Its just like a cell phone.

No for sure on that. I'm a network systems guy and I don't believe you will be able to do that with a hop spot if the unit does not "act as" a router. You will need to enable port forwarding to get the DVR to work.

Not sure what you mean? You have to have Internet service coming to your house through an Internet service provider such as Comcast or AT&T;, that would be true with any router perhaps you're looking for a wireless hotspot which you can get somewhere like Verizon. However I would not suggest this product for a router get a Belkin or a Linksys for the same price.

I also have Verizon but am having no luck getting a connection to the internet. It shows as being connected to the WiFi connection but I can't get any internet pages to load.

I have an MBR95 with the Verizon UML290 USB modem plugged into it and it provides a WI-FI connection for my whole house. My Verizon Droid Maxx, my Sonos internet radio, and my Sony Smart TV all operate off of this WI-FI. How did you get unlimited data from Verizon; they only would allow me 20 Gb and with downloading HD movies to my TV it only takes about 4 movies until I run over my limit.

You can just call Verizon and they can turn on the Hotspot on your tablet. Remember that it does come out of your Data plan. This is also if you IPAD is cell enabled.

Settings > Wifi > Click the box and you should be able to get internet from there. Internet from your Data Package, once you turn on your mobile settings it should work also, but I must add using this phone is very problematic I basically have to factory restore it every day. Hope you get your internet working

I do not know which number this is. I can not get Verizion to get this device to connect. Any suggestions. Looks like it is hooked up but the green light on the side will not blink. It need to blink to get the data to my computer. This is the 3rd MIFI2200 I have tried to get connected with. Verizon seems to not want to support 3G devices..

Hello. If you will need to get on the Web away from your wireless (whether that be at home or work), then yes, you will need to add it to your Verizon service. For us, we didn't have to, since everywhere we go, we can connect to wireless Internet. You can also purchase a plug in adapter that fits into any standard wall outlet and get WIFI without having to purchase extra WIFI service through Verizon. We have one that I bought here on Amazon, and that seems to work well. Hope this helps. Try a universal WI-FI repeater and extender search on Amazon if you don't wan't/need to purchase extra service. It may be less expensive for you. Hello. If you will need to get on the Web away from your wireless (whether that be at home or work), then yes, you will need to add it to your Verizon service.

We live on a mountain top so we DO NOT have internet via cable, satellite, etc. We only have our mobile hotspot, Verizon Jetpack. Most people have a modem which connects to their wireless router. If you do not have an ethernet cable to perform the initial set up for this camera, you cannot use the camera if you only have a hot spot.

You should be able to hook any modem with a high speed cable or usb . I have a wireless verizon card on mine. Works on our phones , tablets and hardwired the computer , it is much faster than when i plugged straight into verizon card. Reception is 400 ft

I doubt that this will work at all with satellite internet service. It's not a matter of data usage, but bandwidth. The Verizon support site recommends a fast internet connection with at least 3GB downstream 1.5GB Upstream. I doubt that you are getting anything near that over satellite.

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience. The box where you plug the phone in has two Ethernet jacks. When I first set up the system I had one of the jacks connected to one of the Ethernet jacks on my Wifi router which is plugged into a modem that provides internet connection. This was not very reliable so I call Phonepower and they said to plug the phone box directly into the modem and plug the Wifi router into the phone box and this has worked pretty much without any problems. The phone box itself has no Wifi connection unless they have boxes that are different from what I have.Thanks, Jerry Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience.

Verizon says it doesn't work with Satellite internet connections, something about too much latency in the signal? I've used several of these devices on different high speed connections with no problems, but all connections were via cable internet. The device needs a lot of information both through the web and also a GPS fix from where you place the unit. Must be by a window and have a continuous GPS fix. Other than that, it's a great device! Allows full bars on your phone where there were no bars before!
