Have a cell based wifi device that will be used for mobile office voice (Skype) and internet for multiple users. Is this the correct product for me?

we have used boosters for years the smooth talker and the Wilson stuff. both did the trick to give us cellular internet and phone service...............Skype you are gonna need good bandwidth so this may be the drawback........we worked campgrounds in the middle of nowhere and were able to draw in enough signal to get e-mails and cell calls.............you might try contacting the nearest radio shack or other electronics store to where you want to use it and see what they can tell you.........good luck

Jeff,The booster will not increase bandwidth, just give you extended range. Even at optimal conditions, funneling all your traffic (skype & internet for multiple users) through a cellular connection is questionable. Your biggest issue is whether you have 3G or 4G service. If 4G, you may be able to do what you want. Also, if you're using video over skype it uses a LOT of bandwidth and will slow ever other user of the connection to a crawl.If you have 3G only service, I would say forget it.

Unifi LR AP is mWifi in your garage, this might be the right device.anaged and controlled, and should only be used with, the UniFi Enterprise WiFi system. Unless you are connecting from a long ways away, this would not work well for what you need; this is meant more for point to point wifi installations, or point to multipoint. If you only want an AP, look at the Ubiquiti Pico. If you need multiple APs, then look at Unifi. If you need

I used a single unit, and to be honest with you I had problems with the 4 wireless units interfering with one another. I think it would be worth spending the extra money to buy something of higher quality. Hope this helped.

Ji. You should focus on the accepted bands (as Armando mentioned) but also on the specs of the communication protocol it uses. In other words, if the cellphone company supports GSM or CDMA. Based on that you should get the version that fits your needs (although if you ask me look for the GSM one)

Yes! We have tried 5 devices, and all worked perfectly. Have in mind though, this might slightly slow down your internet speed.

Thanks Mike, will have to wait for an official details from Netgear website, on the Netgear website only shows:What about security?Skype uses secure and encrypted communication so nobody's able to listen in. The NETGEAR Skype WiFi Phone is designed to deploy Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) for WiFi security.What wireless standard is used?The wireless mobile phone is WiFi compatible 802.11g, and is backwards compatible with 802.11b.

It should work fine. The microcell is just that, a micro cell. It isn't a signal booster. It uses your Internet connection to create a cell signal in your house.

What I understand is that the phone is a wifi card, with some software and hardware that connects to the router or AP. If the software has the functionality in both the phone version and the PC version (it would be stupid that they don't) then my conclusion would be that yes, it will work.But my answer should be based on the screenshots on the netgear site. In one of them you can clarly read SkypeIn and SkypeOut as options available

How realiable is this product? Would you recommend it for a small office looking for setting up a redundant Internet connection?

This mifi is ran through a verizon phone bill. If you have a verizon account than it will work. It can connect up to five different devices at one time. Since you have aa&t; I would suggest looking at their options for wifi.

Hi, Yes provided they both have the software loaded. I made my laptop a "wifi- hotspot," and as such, I can use all my devices, tablets, phones, friends laptops and devices all on the same network. It really works very well.

I have downloaded skype and can use it. The quality depends on the speed of the connection.

Should not be a problem. Each device will need access to a phone jack in order for them to call you if there is trouble. However, they should be able to share the same number..

I would have to say not. This is for your home network or wifi hotspot not mobile broadband.

Yes, you can.It is 100% compatible with skype.You can use it connecte to a network wireless or use a 3G signal contracte with your prefered company.Note: depending on 3G signal strong you could have some issues because the speed would be not the same that when using a wireless network

I use Nimbuz, which supports Skype as well as many other popular IM applications. Nice to have all my IM apps all in one program. I used to use Fring, but since it no longer works with Skype video, Nimbuz is a better multi-protocal application.And yes, Numbuz (Skype) can be used over WiFi or 3G packet data. Your choice.@geekgirl, Sorry, but no video calling using Skype. The "official" app never implemented it. Fring did support it until recently, but it no longer works. So voice only I'm afraid. :(

Yes, works perfectly with multiple devices, I have personally used with Skype on home pc, as well as on phones (Iphone, Galaxy S III, non-smart phone, GREAT sound too
