Greetings;

I'm not very tech savvy. I have an old(er) Verizon usb 720 mobile modem. So far as I know, the device requires software loaded on a computer to run (I have a question in to Verizon on that to confirm), so I don't think I can use it on a cell data router. Is there some device that will turn my laptop or desktop into a 'hotspot' so I don't have to keep moving the modem from one device to another?

thanks in advance

kelly

Yes. If you have wired internet and want to use your laptop for WIFI then use Connectify. Looks like to share the USB 4G you would have to buy the PRO version.

thanks kanewolf - Appreciate your time to reply and the idea! a little digging indicates this may not be the panacea it would like you to think it is. . . many poor reviews - but looks promising - perhaps as more people use it they will improve the software etc.

I use it to convert wired networks at hotels into wifi. I have never used it with a USB modem.
