PHS300

Works with 4G modems (tested with the Huawei E368) but in the documentation on the CP site (ReleaseNotes) here is this Gem: "PHS300 with LTE or WiMAX Modems: The PHS300 USB port is USB1.1 standard. Maximum tested throughput speeds are typically limited to 6mbps."

Which means that I will never get anything over 6mbit out of this thing. With overhead...etc...I get max about 4mbits and that is at a location that has verified consistent 10mbit speeds.

I was using this thing on a 3G network and had it plugged in for months (like 5 or 8 months) everyday using it constantly. I should have taken the battery out because it looks like it is bulging. I may order another depending if I use it or not. They have generics online for like $5. It is worth while to note that while the battery appears to be messed and the charge activity deal in the unit and on the web interface says 100% alot that I have been using it for about 30 mins and it still works. Most batteries just crap out without use and trickle charge for months.

MBR800

Looks like it supports 'highspeed' usb.

The combination of high data rate LTE or WIMAX modems along with a wired LAN connection may cause modem connection reliability issues when “Use Fastest Communication Method” is enabled. For best connection reliability, either connect to the router using WiFi or disable “Use Fastest Communication Method” in the Modem->Settings page

• Note: Disabling “Use Fastest Communication Method” may result in lower data rates.

So. It seems these CP devices are becoming more and more useless.
