I bought 3 PHS3-300's from Amazon, each went back as "defective" as they wouldn't work with my UML Verizon 4g modem. This refurbished unit however worked perfectly with no configuration changes needed. Please note I did change some stuff in the configuration only after I verified it worked, such as changing the SSID, password, and turning on Guest mode. I did a speed test and my 4g is showing around 12mb down and 4mb up.

When first logging into the admin screen of the cradlepoint it did tell me a newer firmware update was available, I did go ahead and update it.

One note, during setup it asked to setup the 4g Realm, not sure what that is or if it's needed. I noticed that there was no option for "verizon" in the dropdown but there was other carriers. I left the box blank and hit "next", appears to be working just fine.

I'm glad I went this route, refurbished works and is saving me 50% of buying this brand new and I couldn't be happier with it.

This nifty little 3/4G Router is Dynamite. Received from Amazon in 2 days and set it up in about 15 minutes. The getting started documentation is great and all the software needed is on the router. Just access with your browser click on getting started and zapo you are done..found my 3g air card immediately. Great buy! The first positive review I have ever written out of 100 orders. This router equals Amazon in performance.

This router is small, not tiny but one of the best options available. Considering also the price is your best option for a travel router.
I did have an issue when I first setup the router, my USB wifi card didn't connect to the router. After that I used the iphone which worked fine. After the configuration everything worked fine.
I am very satisfied with the product which offers a lot of connectivity options.
I works with my ZTE USB modem without any configuration on Etisalat and Roshan Af.
