It's time for an upgrade on my UM175 USB broadband device. It has worked well but my family needs more access (3 pc's). So I have two options.
1. the Fivespot Global Ready 3G Mobile Hotspot
or
2. the MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot
I can't see any real difference between them except for the Fivespot being "global ready", which I don't need. I am in a fringe area so I need a strong unit (typically get 2 to 3 bars with the UM175).
Any information on either of these will be helpful.
Thanks!

After trying very unsuccessfully to use 2 separate Fivespots, Verizon swapped them out for a Mifi.....works great and has good speed. However, we've only had it a coupleof hours so who knows?
Also, be sure all of your old device drivers are uninstalled.....that can really cause a headache.
MiFi, the 5 Spot is a piece of junk. ( I own a 5spot)
Buy a router see EVDO or 3Gstore. Cradlepoint....
I upgraded to the fivespot a couple of months ago. I had a 727 USB modem. It is like night and day difference in the 2. The fivespot is a lot faster, even with 2 or 3 laptops running. I don't regret switching. Had a problem when I first tried to activate the fivespot, customer service was outstanding in getting me up and going.
I've had the Mifi for a week now and it works like a champ.....have even been traveling with it. Out son used it to connect to his spring phone wifi! It's great!!
