I have a Verizon broadband mobile internet device. Is there any way I can rebroadcast the signal so I can use it with other devices in my house (wifi?). Thanks

There should have been a manual with this "device" to explain things.

Can it create a WiFi hotspot? Can you connect it to a cell data (3G, 4G) router?

Thanks for your feedback - haven't been here in awhile - didn't know I had a reply . . .

the mobile device cannot create a hotspot. I have no idea what a 'cell data router' is. I'm pretty low tech. I did find this old article on CNET about a Cradle Point mobile WiFi Hotspot (http://www.cnet.com/news/get-a-cradlepoint-mobile-wi-fi...) Don't know if it's still around - but looks like what I need - or am I mistaken?

Thanks

What you need depends on what you have. If you have a USB cell data modem, you can check with the service provider to see what routers will work with it. Cradle Point is a good brand, but there are several other routers with 3G/4G usb stick options.
