Limited 5G locations

Harv . 3 months ago

My 5G cellphone works perfectly in my home and so does my old 4G Orbic device, but this Orbic Speed 5G UW hotspot was painfully slow. Trust me, I tried everything. After nearly a year, I switched to the Orbic Speed X 5G which is $100 less in price and yet it works a lot better.

Worst product I have ever had from Verizon

Ryanm . 5 months ago

Have owned this junk for over a year and have never been able to get great reliability out of it. 8 months ago a prompt to update the software kept popping up but the update failed no matter what I did. Asked Verizon and was told that unit needs to be replaced but the thin plastic garbage they have over the screen has a crack in it ( probably caused by keeping in my back pack, they could not replace therefore I’m left with a pile of plastic that is basically a brick now. Thanks Orbic & Verizon great job.

Don’t do it

Boogie . 6 months ago

Not sure if it’s Verizon or this device but the service is terrible! It goes from 5G to no service ever 5 minutes! It’s so bad I had to get AT&T and its works great. I honestly feel ripped off.

Great potental

Rksparky . 8 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Have been using hot spots for years for work and personal. #1 one thing no body tells you when buy a hotspot pick the top tier plain they have to get beat speed from device.. I have speed tested this device in several area with speed 3+Gbps x 100+Mbps but on average on 5G UW 300+Mbps x 10+Mbps.. I also find in some cases I can pick up better signal on this hotspot then iPad or cell phones.. Love the Ethernet port which is great verse of options working in different fields where I might need to connect multiple non WiFi devices.. As for WiFi it has amazing range I use it when in sites where I get no cell signal I place this hot spot where I do get service and use wifi calling on my phones.. Now few things need definitely need to be addressed. Number one and it’s an issue that I’ve seen over and over The overheating of the unit when charging while unit is on.. Really is biggest down fall to the device.. I have in jam taken battery cover off which sometimes helps, even used a portable fan to blow air on it.. best advice if your charging it keep it out of the sun which can be hard in car or truck.. I even hung by the charging cord in way to have it in front of truck vent on max AC to keep unit cool during charging and using it.. The other issue is very limited device settings such as custom DHCP, love to see VPN option which would be great option for companies.. The device does take pretty good beating but display cracks easily. A bothering fact and this device fault but make sure when you get any hot spot from Verizon or any provider check and make sure they disable messaging to device.. I was mad amount messages because of phone number from previous user.. which end up as extra fees to me.. One more thing I would have love to see maybe as option in the future dual SIMS working in telecom and knowing every company has its area they thrive in or lack of coverage.. Or those who travel a lot to other countries this feature should be helpful. But also see the benefits of dual providers to increase service coverage and amp speeds when 5G Ultra not available..,

Expensive Option for spotty coverage. T-Mobile is less expensive and better plan. I will be switching.

FAQs

Orbic Speed 5G UW FAQs

Lilly . Dec 26, 2024

Can this be used with spectrum

Answer from Verizon Customer Support2 months

No, you cannot use the Orbic Speed 5G UW on Spectrum because it is designed specifically for Verizon's network and is not compatible with Spectrum's cellular frequencies; "5G UW" stands for "5G Ultra Wideband" which is a term primarily used by Verizon for their high-speed 5G network, and Spectrum operates on a different network infrastructure. https://www.verizon.com/internet-devices/orbic-speed-5g-uw/ -Natasha
