The editors didn't like

  • None.
  • Runs hot. Battery drains quickly when multiple Wi-Fi devices connect. No 3G connectivity when charging.
  • The Sprint Novatel Wireless MiFi 2200 mobile has a few shortcomings
  • Including support for only five clients at a time
  • The lack of support for the Wireless-N standard
  • And a limited and expensive data plan.
  • Limited range
  • Gets very warm
  • 3G network speeds can vary widely. Initial tethered setup is a bit unclear. Can't charge battery and transmit WiFi simultaneously.
  • Four hours of battery life is fine — six would be awesome. Wired policy mandated that we give ours back
  • Broadband network not very broad in rural areas
  • As fast as cheap DSL
  • Turns on accidentally
  • Requires expensive service plan.
  • Battery life was a bit short
  • We wish it could last all day. $60 per month plan might be prohibitive for consumers. ...
  • No easy way to get a good indication of signal strength without a computer.
  • Only 3G in the face of the onrushing 4G behemoths
  • Annoying performance limitations with lower-power Wi-Fi devices like tablets and handhelds
  • Power button is very sensitive
  • Speeds vary greatly

  • Overall the Verizon MiFi is a new and interesting technology that is simply great. Other than the weird setup process, it makes life on the go truly convenient. Transfer speeds are great. Battery life is probably enough for most users. The only issue ...
