SOHO as a broadband router . We live in an area without broadband services and very marginal cell reception ~95db. When I started full time telecommuting, I needed an alternative to sitting in front of the only window where my air card worked. I selected the SOHO because of the 11n range, price, upgradeable firmware, security and support for 3g/4g.

It took less then 30 min to setup and configure the SOHO and my Verizon USB760 aircard. I only had to make one minor change to the defaults, setting the aircard configuration for stay alive. Gone are the problems I had with the aircard going dormant when it was connected directly into my PC. Range is also good, strong signal 40+ feet away through 3 internal walls. I have not tested the 4g features.

I would have given it 5 stars but the little blue status LEDs are way to bright and distracting with the way the flicker. No need for an LED to be visible at 50 yards if you cannot read the labels from more then 10 feet.
Nexaira NexConnect 3G/4G SOHO Router Reviews
Great router! . We bought this router to use with a 4G verizon broadband modem (Pantech UML290). Installation and setup were extremely easy...almost too easy because I kept looking for more things to do! It it important to note that with this particular modem you will need to contact Nexaira customer support and have them email you a firmware update. Nexaira customer support was very helpful and curteous and this step was no problem at all. The router has worked just like it should since installed. If you live in a very rural area like we do and your broadband signal is only "good" not "excellent," this router will also prevent being disconnected from the internet due to signal strength variations. This feature alone makes it more than worth the money we spent. I would highly recommend this router!
Excellent 3G/4G Router . When you need to share your 3G / 4G USB modem with multiple users or a wired modem, this router works great.
Nexaira NexConnect 3G/4G SOHO Router Opinions
Great device for home or small office . This device is really nice, one of the only 4G routers on the market. The GUI is fantastic, and setting up WiFi is just as simple (if not simplier) than the Linksys and Tomato interfaces. I am receiving 20+ Mbps using a Verizon 4G LTE card. Note: if you are using the Verizon LTE 4G data card from Pantech, you'll need to contact support@nexaira.com to receive the firmware update. Copy it to a thumb drive and flash the firware from the main menu, VZW 4G services will not work without it.

These types of speeds elimiate the need for a costly T1, or home DSL and cable circuit. We deploy these devices at business and residential sites and we have had tremendous success. For this price point, you can't go wrong.

One of Nexaira's competitors, San Diego-based Mushroom Networks, offers a similar 4G-compliant device. However, Mushroom's device aggreates the bandwidth of multiple data cards (USB and PCI Express).

Cradlepoint is another manufacturer in this space that makes reliable gear, but at the time I am writing this, they don't have a 4G model available.

In the end, I would definitely recommend this device.
Does the Trick but has issues with some 3G Modems . I bought this for my father's house, as he lives in the country and Satellite was his only option for High Speed Internet. We set him up with Verizon and the Pantec 4G UML290, which was listed on the Nexaira's web site as being compatible with this SOHO router. 4G is not available in his area, so we modified the Pantec to ONLY use the 3G service and ignore 4G.We were running into uptime issues at first, with constant dropped connections. Nexaira's Tech Support was GREAT with this. I spoke to a very nice person who, after trying a bunch of different solutions, finally noted that the modem we chose had slight compatibility issues that they were aware of. The recommendation was to purchase the Verizon Wireless UMW190 Global USB Modem/Mobile Phone as a replacement 3G Modem, as they said it had the best compatibility of Verizon's 3G Modem offerings.We bought the UMW190 and service was just Excellent! We had the modem up and running with no disconnections for nearly a week. Overall we are Very happy with the Nexaira NexConnect SOHO Router, but a note on the Compatibility list for the UML290 on "some connection issues" would have been nice to know prior to purchasing.
Highly functional . I have been able to set up this product very quickly and the GUI allows me to set up many many functions easily. I highly recommend this product.


3-G Router . This router sets up very easy. I have tried other 3G routers, but this is the easiest to set up. It works quite well, but I have found that when I go through the router, my speed drops a little. With just the aircard, I can receive at 1.2 KBS, but through the router it drops to about 850 KBS. I am on a Verizon system with a good signal, so I don't know why the speed drops. I have had no problems with the router other than the reduced speed.
it works . One of the few routers, and the only one I got to work with, the usb pantech 290. It did require a firmware upgrade that went smoothly. So far this device has met all my expectations. I would have given 5 stars, but to get the firmware upgrade you have to email tech support. Email them on a Friday, you won't get your upgrade until the following week, but be patient, it works.


Cons Review
NexAira SOHO problems . Well I suppose there may be a bad one from time to time but I am now on my second one that also appears to have a problem. The first one lasted just past a month and worked as expected until the problems began. The USB cell modem connection kept dropping out so I had to unplug it everyday to reset it at first then I had to reset it almost every hour before it would no longer work at all. I first thought it was my cell carrier but then it would not let me get into the software and the reset did not work. I finally did get into the software and I was able to flash the newest firmware but it still did not work. I contacted the support and they did respond and tried to help but I finally gave up and paid to have it sent back.

I just received the replacement one this week and the USB cell service is once again working however now the WAN support as primary and the cell support as the secondary roll over is not working. I have once again contacted the support staff in CA and I know that they will do their best to help. I have concerns though on the overall quality of this product as it appears that the second one is faulty. I also wonder if I will have to pay for the shipping again to get this one replaced.

I give Amazon high marks as the purchase and selection is fantastic. I also praise the support staff for this product also. The only CON I have at the moment is quality of the product itself. so I only gave it one star.
