4G Mobile Hotspot as Home Internet replacement

I was very skeptical at first because I have tried other services before and their speeds have been terrible (1-2 Mbps), so having heard good things about this one (and about coverage in my area), I decided to give it a shot.

Installation
1) Get it out of the box
2) Install battery
3) Plug it to the wall to charge it
4) Turn it on

At this point the device shows the name and password of the WiFi network.

5) Connect to WiFi using the device's instructions
6) Configure security settings (change Network name and password) (this is optional, but recommended unless you want to be hacked)
7) Setup a new admin password

And that's it!

Advanced Settings
- By default the device let's you connect up to 5 devices, but you you can change that up to 8.
- You should change the Hotspot administrator password for security (hackers usually know what the built-in passwords are and hack those who never change them).

Location
If you have multiple floors, put it in the middle floor if possible. Move it around your place so that you get the most bars.

Your admin utility (accessible through http://yourWiFiNetworkName) has a very useful status that you can use to monitor signal strength and whether you are on 4G or 3G.

Speed Test
After all the setup was done, I ran a speed test and got 5.8Mbps for download and 0.5Mbps for upload. It may not sound like much, but then I fired up my usual apps:

- Netflix: just as good as with my previous (supposed up to) 18Mbps cable modem connection, I noticed no difference.
- Facebook, Flickr, Gmail: No noticeable change.

I am beginning to think that my cable company was ripping me off ;-)

Conclusions
It's day 1, and I have no issues to report. All kinds of devices connected well:
- iPhone
- iPad
- Mac
- PC
- Nook

Next stage: Wii, PS3, and multiple users at once with heavy usage.

Update # 1:
It seems like the Overdrive Pro gives up when multiple devices go online and offline throughout the day, stops broadcasting a WiFi signal and needs to be restarted.

So far, twice today, the 2nd time I had to remove the battery. I am running the latest firmware.

Update # 2:
The restarts are starting to drive me a little bit crazy. The WiFi is broadcasted but you can't connect and the only way around it is to restart. So you better have a toothpick laying around to push that little button once or twice a day.

Still not bad enough to dump it, but I am close...

Update # 3:
The connectivity issues have diminished and now we go about 1 1/2 days without needing to restart it, and we only do so because of Netflix, which seems to have issues loading a movie or show for playback. Everything else is fine (email, Facebook, browsing, etc).

Update # 4 and Final Verdict:
It's a keeper!

No other ISP offered a similar price for 2 years, they start you at a teaser of 45-50 bucks then bump to over 65, and that's not even their top of they line speed.

Plus, the ability to take this device wherever I go was a big plus.
