VERIZON 4G LTE Broadband Router with Voice

I am thinking of using this device in my vacation home to monitor and control a wi-fi thermostat. Can I leave it on 24X7 unattended for a few months at a time? Is it reliable or does it need constant rebooting. What kind of data usage might I expect?

Nope!
Nope, it will need to be rebooted.
Data usage is controlled by the users and equipment connection to the LAN side of the router. Otherwise, the router itself uses a negligible amount of data measured in kilobytes per month.
If long term reliability is your concern have a look at the Craddlepoint or Pepwave embedded modem/router M2M devices from the 3GStore.com.
However, if you expect to control this HVAC Wall mounted Wi-Fi thermostat, over the internet, then you’re in for another surprise: the lack of a public facing IP address. There appears to be three alternatives to this problem:
Try setting up a VPN client on your end through a VPN Server on the internet
Obtain a static IP address from Verizon Wireless for the one time fee of $500
Use another provider with a public IP address.

Verizon 4G LTE Broadband Router - Does Verizon Issue You With A Public IP Address?

Hi,
http://www.verizonwireless.com/home-office-solutions/4g-lte-broadband-router-with-voice/
Regarding the above Verizon 4G LTE Broadband Router, does Verizon issue you with a public IP address that can be accessed from outside of their network or do they issue you with a private IP addresss just like they do with their JetPacks?
Thank you!

That's an excellent question olimits7! It will be my pleasure to assist with your inquiry. Our voice and data services are transmitted using a 10-digit mobile number on our network. May I ask do you have the mobile number on your account? If you are interested in a private IP address then we can discuss options. Please advise so we can begin.
Thank you…

Can you use an external antenna with the 4G LTE Router with Voice?

I live in a black hole of cell service - very rural, in a valley surrounded by trees, no DSL, no cable, no other options except satellite internet which I did for 15 years and will never do again. My current data setup is a Pantech UML290 USB modem connected to a Cellphone-Mate full band outdoor Omni 3G/4G antenna on the roof. I just ordered an amplifier to boost the 4G LTE connection. The modem is plugged into a Cradlepoint MBR900 router, which then provides my home internet (way more than 10 devices, and mostly wired).
Is there a way to add the antenna and amplifier setup to the broadband router with voice so I can be assured of the signal? If so, could I then use this router to feed the Cradlepoint and continue using multiple wired devices?
I was set to order this router last night, but the CSR through chat told me that you cannot attach antenna to the router with voice - only to the one with data. This really doesn't make any sense to me, but she was firm about it. If I can attach, can I use the cables I have or will I need a different adapter?
There is so little information about this particular router. My current setup is doing fairly well, but I would love the option to drop my landline and increase signal strength for both voice and data. With no antenna, the modem gets around -125 db, and can't connect at all. With the antenna mounted on the roof, and routed through the Cradlepoint, I consistently get -85 db. 4G LTE speeds are around 15-19 Mb/s down and very inconsistent 2.5-4.0 Mb/s up. However, the 4G drops and resets multiple times a day, so I usually sacrifice the speed to get a more stable 4.5-5 Mb/s down and 0.5 Mb/s up through forced 3G.
Voice calls are spotty if received at all, and frequently drop immediately if there is any connection. And of course, the data limit has been a nightmare. I could potentially save some money by porting my landline to Verizon, but not if there is no way to boost the signals. The Omni antenna will boost all, but not sure if there's any way to route the existing antenna setup to feed both the voice and data sides, or if it would be enough to allow me to do this. This router also says it's 4G LTE only, but the specs on the antenna they sell say it boosts 3G for failover, so not sure if it will grab anything else. Any help or advice GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for reading through the whole thing.

No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

SLOW speeds after sw update - Novatel 4G LTE router with voice

My device auto-updated to sw 2.0 and ever since am getting 1-3 Mbps up/down. Prior to the sw update, I was getting "normal" LTE speeds ranging from 15-25 Mbps up/down.
Verizon processed a replacement (was brand new, swapped in-store) with same experience. Speeds were normal but after a few minutes of being powered on, the router auto-updates to 2.0 and slow speeds thereafter.
Phone front line has been nice but since this device is so new hoping posting here with get the attention of someone to correct this issue. Swapping for replacement devices isn't solving the problem.
Anyone else? Ideas for a fix?

Ok, I just followed JoeL and am awaiting approval. For reference, see the image of 3 speed tests this morning conducted on an LTE iPad. No other devices are connected to the router.
connected to the wireless network broadcast by the Verizon 4G LTE router - 0.6 down/up, unacceptable
connected straight to the Verizon LTE network - 34 down / 9 up, fine
home wireless network
The 1st test should look very similar to the 2nd since both are using the Verizon LTE network

Problems with 3 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster

I bought 3 Wireless-G Broadband Routers with speedboost.
They all had problems. After buying a second one, I figured the first one had a defect. Then I had more problems. Is this just more bad luck? Then I bought the third one, and still had problems, especially with the program it had me install on the pcs I had at home. It just wouldn't keep a connection. Then, most of the time I had to restart the router.. Shame, I thought to myself... I wondered if linksys knew about this router and its problems.. I even tried to upgrade the firmware, and it only had problems after that on one of the routers. I just got a complaint from one of my friends about the router. I had a feeling I knew what it was once she told me the problem it had. Then I asked her the type a router it was. "Linksys" she told me and I told her my story with 3 bad routers. . It was weird..
Oh, well, hopefully linksys will look it up and see what is up with the product. Buying the 3 same routers and them not working was a little weird. At least it wasn't working the way it should have.
That is all from me.. I know this is a serious post, so reply all that want to.

What you want to do is set up your wireless security. The routers setup page
(192.168.1.1) can only be accessed IF someone can get on your wireless network first. Of course, you want to change this password to something other than 'admin' anyway. This you can do by accessing the administration tab in the setup pages of the router by going here to see how it is done.
Now, you want to secure your wireless network by going here.

4g lte router with voice works great with data....stops working on voice

Have had the router about a month and half....works so much better than old MIFi Jet Pack although Jet Pack was good..Signal so much better with router...6-10 meg down 2.5-4 upload which is good for us out here in the country..............BUT here is where I need help..Voice works but then will just stop working without warning. Pick up reciever to make call and get dial tone alright...but when enter call it does nothing and finally gives busy signa. Try and call into the router and goes straight to voice mail. Only way to get it back working is to power off router and power up. Then it is back working for .....hours, couple days, then all of sudden ....won't work..Have to reboot again, and so on and so on....Have called Verizon and they said they will start a work order or something like that. Any one else with this problem?

Hoopop,
My parents are having the exact same problem! However, they don't have the data side of the router activated yet. They are only using the phone side. I had planned to turn on the data side but this problem is very concerning. Their old home connect never had this problem. Did you ever get this resolved?

Can I connect landline phone to the 4G LTE wireless router?

T1114 4g router with security camera setup?

Has anyone been able to set up security cameras with the 4G LTE Broadband Router with Voice model T1114 ? I have been talking to Verizon, Foscam and Novotel and I am getting absolutely no where. I'd hate to have to keep my DSL service just because of my security cameras, but at this point it's looking like that may be a possibility. If anyone has a solution or guidance, I'd appreciate it.

> is that a complicated work around or is it fairly simple?
Its simple in design, but could be complicated to configure and maintain depending on your network comfort level. Considering your goal is to access cameras and not a PC you will need the assistance of an additional VPN router. Setup the Jetpack(or USB modem) to act like a modem and link him to a VPN router with a wireless bridging feature. From there you configure the VPN router to automatically connect to your desired VPN server as long as the Jetpack is online and providing a connection.
The setup would look something like this:
- VZW ))) Jetpack ))) VPNRouter === Cam1
- VZW ))) Jetpack ))) VPNRouter === Cam2
- VZW ))) Jetpack ))) VPNRouter === Cam3
- etc
If the cameras happen to be wireless then the VPN router should be able to accommodate those connections too, but I wouldn't recommend relying on wireless any more than you need to considering how much is going on already.
VPN connectivity is a feature on some more advanced home routers and can also be re-flashed on others with the use of custom firmware. DD-WRT can enable this functionality for free if you happen to have a compatible router lying around that supports wireless bridging. VZW does not offer any products for you that can do this so you will have to look elsewhere.
Wireless bridging is the process of connecting one router to another over WiFi. On devices that support this functionality there is generally a mode called "Bridge mode", "AP mode" or something along those lines that can enable the configurations for you. From there you would need to decide if you want the device to perform only as a bridge and Ethernet cable connect the cameras or perform a "repeater" function and rebroadcast the Jetpacks signal to the cams.
The goal being to get everything that requires remote access to automatically connect to the chosen VPN server. That way whenever you want to remotely connect and view the cameras all you need is a way to connect to the VPN server where everything is resting. All you should have to do from there is keep the Jetpack/USB modem online and everything else will take care of itself from there.

Verizon router MI424WR conflict with voice over IP

I was recently as of Jan 6, 2009 set up with FIOS. In my network of computers and printers I also have a linksys T-mobile router with voice over IP (voIP). Very shortly after installing FIOS all was well until just recently (about 1 week ago) I started to experience a problem with the voIP. I get a dial tone and can call out however I can not hear the party's phone ringing and can not hear them talking. They can hear me talk.
I have the original firmware on the Linksys router. I was told that Verizon has done a firmware upgrade but can not give me the previous firmware.
Are there any suggestions for me to help getting my phone working?

Well, I have never come across this issue before, but it sounds like a quality of service issue and not really a port issue of any sort so I doubt opening any type of port will fix anything. If your ONT allows it, try bypassing our router with the linksys and see if the problem is fixed. Just want to verify it is the actiontech router causing the issue...

Use WRTP54G-ER wireless router with other ISP?

I got a Linksys WRTP54G-ER router with 2 phone ports from Circuitcity. We have Cable phone, and internet services with Times Warner.
On the package of the router it shows "Wireless-G broadband Router with 2 phone ports, Configured specifically for Earthlink trueVoice services"
Will this router works with the system we now have?

Yes it will work fine with the Cable Connection ...if you want to use Phone service you need to contact the Earthlink .... voice service provider ...

Verizon 4G LTE with Pantech UML 290 NAT breaks VoIP with mobile routers.

LONG story short. I run a training class once a month (8 road, 4 home) called FreedomVoice University where we train our dealer network on our hosted VoIP phone system called FreedomIQ. I'm looking to provide my own Internet solution for these classes since most hotels have inadequate (or non-working) wifi and internet. They typically also lack a wired connection, something that would allow us to connect Polycom (RJ45 connection) VoIP phones for training purposes. My idea was to use a Verizon 4G USB device that interfaces with a Cradlepoint CBR400 router to provide Internet to a switch that connects multiple VoIP phones. It turns out that this scenario is impossible to use with hosted VoIP because Verizon has the 4G connection NAT'd. When you use another router to connect the phones, now a double NAT scenario exists (premise based router providing NAT and 4G connection NAT'd) and that breaks nearly all flavors of hosted VoIP. Verizon refuses to disable the NAT on their end, citing "security reasons" but I think it's more of a "we don't want you using VoIP instead of our minutes" reason. Anyway, their 4G LTE service is completely useless to me in this scenario. Verizon suggested that I turn off NAT on my end. Apparently they are clueless as to the purpose of NAT. Multiple devices need unobstructed internet access here guys!!!

The firmware is up to date on the Cradlepoint CBR400. It's definitely not in the CBR400, i've already pursued that. Even though NAT is required on my end for multiple phones, disabling NAT by setting the CBR400 to IP passthrough mode to allow the phone to pickup the DHCP address from Verizon didn't work either. This works on a SIP softphone (Bria by Counterpath) and a laptop but not directly to a Polycom phone. Very odd scenario... The traffic coming from the Bria app on the laptop probably looks slightly different (no QoS tagging for one) than the traffic directly from the Polycom phone, which leads me to believe Verizon is doing some specialized handling of SIP traffic when they see it (probably SIP ALG of some sort) which is breaking hosted VoIP. For premise based VoIP it might work but a hosted VoIP scenario is different. Since the server is in the cloud, if Verizon is manipulating those packet headers before it reaches the server (re-writing a real IP with a LAN IP for example), the hosted server won't know where the traffic came from to be able to communicate back and establish the call (SIP signal or audio session). This is very common (SIP ALG) in today's routing devices. This is a whole separate scenario to double NAT which I believe they are also doing. This would explain why the SIP softphone Bria won't work with Verizon 4G LTE behind the NAT of the Cradlepoint CBR400.
Bottom line is that over the past week i've tested over a dozen scenarios with the 4G LTE and the Cradlepoint CBR400 and determined Verizon is breaking it. AT&T iPhone tether actually shows some promise except that the Cradlepoint CBR400 isn't compatible with it via USB. I'd be very curious to know if a compatible AT&T USB device would suffer from the same issues. In light of my iPhone tether testing i'd have to say no.

Verizon 4G LTE Router lights flashing at the same time

Just today I noticed that some of the lights on my Verizon 4G LTE Router are all flashing at the same time and in sync. These are the lights that indicate the internet, wifi and LAN network activity. It seems it might have rebooted today as well - perhaps the firmware was updated by Verizon. The firmware running on it now appears to be v3.2.3.55. Its functioning normally right now - its just that having these three lights flash all at the same time, gives the impression that there is an error or issue with the device. Has anyone else noticed anything like this on their router?

I have to report the firmware has messed up our connection. We have 2 of these routers. Both would not connect to the internet for several days. The 4g LTE connection light was blue and the signal strength showed green with occasional blue. The devices would just not connect to the internet. We are 9 miles from the tower but the devices had worked reliably before the firmware upgrade. I have a support NRB (Network Repair Bureau) ticket going with several phone calls. Evidently one of the features of this firmware was a 3G fallback. The support says Verizon will not rollback firmware.updates. There is obviously bugs in this firmware that have negative impacts. One of our Netgear routers has made an internet connection again but the other has not. It's really frustrating especially when you are paying a small fortune for the data. It worked fine before the firmware upgrade. PLEASE fix this Verizon.
