    Set up VPN on downstream router

    Good morning. I live in a rural area and my only internet is via a MOFI 4500 Cellular Router. This router from my understanding runs Open-WRT. I've also got an ASUS RT-N66R that runs Asus' version of DD-WRT. I want to install a VPN on the ASUS router, but it won't allow me to do that in AP...

    Rural Cellular Internet - Opinons

    Quick question....if I get another Yagi, is there any minimum distance that they have to be from each other? I was actually thinking of creating a 90 degree bracket to hold the pair, one horizontal the other vertical. I think I've seen similar set ups. I was just going to go with the Wilson...

    Rural Cellular Internet - Opinons

    stevech, I don't know of any "legit" plan that is affordable. I do know there are parties out there on ebay that will rent you a Verizon grandfathered unlimited data plan. These usually run around 120 a month. I was lucky enough to already have a grandfathered plan. sfx2000, I'm not that...

    Rural Cellular Internet - Opinons

    Here is an update on my system. The TP Link TL-MR3020 is not stable with the UML 290. So, I scrapped all of that and purchased a Novatel T1114 Tasman router off Ebay for 68 dollars. This thing is rock solid so far. If anyone is looking for an option to run their home on 4G, pick one of these...

    Rural Cellular Internet - Opinons

    I don't use a WISP, but I had stated in the original post that I am on the fringe of a WISP tower. I'm currently using cellular via Verizon grandfathered plan. I had tried WISP with the supplied antenna and it crawled along and was spotty. If I can't get my current setup to be more stable...

    Rural Cellular Internet - Opinons

    Great stuff. So, I got my UML 290 hooked up. It is currently residing in my Wilson Sleek via a rubber band. The sleek is attached to a Wilson Yagi via LMR 400 cable. The UML 290 is hooked up to a TP Link TL-MR3020...that is hooked to my Asus RT-N66U router. The reason being, the best place to...

    Wireless Ethernet Bridge I'm not an IT guy, but i've used these to extend network from my house to my workshop. They are simply awesome. Just like running ethernet cable, but without having to run ethernet cable. Not sure if these will work for your application...

    Rural Cellular Internet - Opinons

    Re: [General] Rural Cellular Internet Setup Thanks for the replies. I've heard that usb stick modems are more stable and produce a cleaner signal than mobile hot spots. Plus, with a USB modem I can run it directly into the router. Thus, running an ethernet cable from the first router...

    Rural Cellular Internet - Opinons

    Good morning, I've been living off of cellular internet for over a year. Where I am located, the options are limited - DSL (which maxes out at 1.3 Mbps down) at my location, Sattelite (tried it, spotty and data caps), WISP (just out of range) and cellular. Thankfully I'm in a spot that gets...

    Smartphone to Wireless Router

    Update - Mifi 4620L A quick update for anyone who's interested..... The phone I was using was not very stable. Not the fault of the phone, its just not meant to be a dedicated internet access point. So....I purchased a Jetpack 4620L from ebay for 18 dollars. Swapped out the sim card from my...

    Smartphone to Wireless Router

    Steve, Thanks for the response. I've already purchased another cellular line for my wife, and we are going to utilize her existing smartphone (with unlimited data plan) as our primary internet. We are going to couple this with an ASUS-RT66U router, utilizing Foxfi to USB tether to the...

    Smartphone to Wireless Router

    Hello everyone, this is my first post. A little background: I live out in the middle of nowhere, so that greatly limits internet options. Currently I'm on a WISP, but they have old towers and I'm lucky to get .5 Mbps. I have a very good 4G signal through verizon and I'm on a grandfathered...
