Rocket Stick to Router?
 

I have a large number of service guys working in a customers plant, frequently ten to twelve guys.

We used to have a land line into their plant connected to our wireless modem/router, everybody had cheap high speed internet. Hidden SSID, password protected. That worked for five years.

Now the customer has told us 'no more vendor land lines, their requirement is:

Quote:

independent wireless broadband device that the guys will keep with them around the lines. No visible SSID and everything password protected

What does Verizon offer? I want to get a rocket stick, but I want to maintain the modem/router that I have, and I think the rocket sticks only work as multiple hot spots (up to five?).

Any suggestions how to accomplish this without the land line?

When I lived in Romania, physical internet connections were rare. Most people had a router that either had the ability to connect to the cell towers (3G) or they had a USB port and connected a "stick" to the router.

I used a "MiFi. It can connect to a USB connection. I connected this to a USB to Ethernet device, and then to a router. Not elegant, but it worked.

You might consider getting a Clear modem/router for this. I tried it, but the service was bad in my area.

Here ya go, Netgear makes one that is 4G. Plug in the SIM card, and you're online.

When I relocate I will vote for you.

Can I save money by powering it with a VFD at night?
