    Also well timed as I'm working in a construction trailer and the guest Wi-Fi available to me is on the weak side and due to my particular situation, I don't have access to the stronger signals. I've been told my company will provide a hotspot but it'll be good to have some information going forward. Thank you!

    I do DoorDash every day and some areas in my town doesn’t get 5gUW I’m a Verizon customer. My questions is does this hotspot have better internet service than my phone? So I can connected to it and have the best internet service all the time? Or would it be the same since I’m already a version unlimited internet 5g

      Depends on your phone - if they are the same modem generation, service should be similar.

      @@MobileInternetResourceCenter thank you for the reply! I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max but should look into T-Mobile or AT&T hot spots or maybe switch over to see if their internet service is better than Verizon in my town. Again thanks 🙏 you’re the best!

      That hotspot probably won't get better 5GUW coverage than your iPhone 13. 5GUW is still getting deployed and is not available in all areas.

    Please advise if there is a mechanism for operating these or other any otther hotspot in "bridge" or "IPpassthru" mode so as to avoid double NAT issues when connecting the hotspot's ethernet port to a router.

    another main difference between the top 2 is battery life. 24hrs vs 8 hrs is what i saw on your graphic

      Battery life generally isn't something RVers and boater pay attention to - as they're usually leaving them plugged in. But that is indeed a difference.

      @@pearlrival3124 I work for TCL in the mobile division and am happy to answer your question. This is a battery protection circuit.
      1. When connected to charger for 16 hours, charging stops and the device runs on battery power.
      2. It continues to use the battery, until level drops to 50% when charging will resume
      3. When the battery level reaches 60%, charging stops again.
      4. When battery drops to 50%, the charging will start again.
      4. Continuing the cycle 50%-60%-50%-60%... until unplugged. This preserves battery life.

      @@scottolson1477 I would prefer this to be an option in the ui. Maybe you guys can find a way to throw that in a software update. While it does preserve battery (after 15 hours of overcharging) allowing the user to keep it on at all times is ideal for most scenarios. Mine is unplugged once a day. Thanks for responding. God bless the Google.

    I’m a Verizon cell phone customer with a 5G unlimited plan. For occasional RV use and maybe occasional boat use, I’m wondering which solution would be better between a Verizon Hotspot and the Verizon 5G Home Internet box. Neither would be used at home at we are mainly weekend RV/Boat users… more interested in the RV so I can work (Teams meetings, etc) while doing a 1-2 week trip.

      Verizon Home Internet doesn't support mobility officially by Terms of Service, and can be difficult to obtain if it's not available at your home address.

      We also have been grandfathered in with the 65$ per month unlimited and had the 8800 and upgraded to the 5g pro and so far we have been disappointed. We did get to keep the old plan but the 8800 I feel is a better deal at the moment because of the antenna ports on the 8800. So far the 5g pro does not broadcast the Wi-Fi signal as the 8800 and from what I understand is that all internet goes through the 4g lte at the moment. We are really thinking of putting the 8800 back in service until things change with 5g. You will have to have some way of boosting the 5g pro signal that won’t break the bank. Hopefully this helps
