Verizon Jetpack MiFi 8800L

I got this device as I lived in an area where I didn’t have an option for other internet. I have recently moved to a higher internet access area but like the price and ability to move it with me but the speeds are super slow and signal is weak. My phone will have full signal on 4G while this has 1/2 bars max. Also when my phone as the exact same single is in 1/2 or even full signal the speeds are wildly different. The hotspot hits a max of about 10-15 full signal while my phone pulls close to 50 all while on the same 4GLTE and the same signal.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have to reset the router often because of connection issues with my tv, laptop, and tablet, usually after about 24 hours. When you run out of your hi-speed data, downloads are less than 300k consistently. I do not have this problem under the same circumstances with my Motorol and Samsung mobile hotspots. The result, it works, kind of.

owned an older version of this Verizon Jetpack and it worked great! Bought this replacement 'upgrade' and its speed is surprisingly terrible. Previous version was super fast, this piece of junk is currently getting about .5mbps download and upload speed from numerous locations around Vacaville/Davis. I reset the device, updated the software, and still slow. Get much faster speeds using my iphone 12 hotspot in same exact locations. Returning as we speak.

When the hotspot works it’s great but the battery life is short I have to re charge it every day sometimes twice a day

I have two of these devices and I'd really like to leave a good review because when they work they're great but... Both devices intermittently just lose "internet", they're connected, everything looks fine but no internet. I've added external antennas and tried everything I can think of. A reboot will solve it temporarily, most of the time. No, it's not signal (though my signal is terrible) else both would behave the same at the same time, they don't. Admittedly I live in a difficult area and what's most frustrating is the unpredictable nature of the issue. I've worked from home for many years and have tried many solutions. This one has great potential, I had their "Home Fusion" product previously but experienced too many equipment failures. If you want to stream movies it's "okay" but if you need reliability and dependability this is not the answer. Touchscreen is not very responsive and the battery doesn't last long either but that's not important to me. Finally just an annoyance but I constantly receive spam text messages on both devices, please allow users to disable that function.

We live in an area where internet service is very limited, and we travel a lot, so this jetpack serves us well, with the unlimited plan. as our only internet service.

I bought mine nearly 5 months ago for heavy use and then it just stopped working. I also had times where it wouldn’t turn on even when it was charged and when it was on it had a 50/50 chance of working. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Don’t waste your money, just use your hotspot on your phone. Added 25 dollars a month to my plan and gives me 6 hours each month before the hotspot data runs out and speeds are greatly reduced, after those 6 or so hours everything plays for 5 seconds before buffering for 30 seconds.
