I replaced my Cradlepoint CTR 350 with the MBR95 in order to gain the speed of the "n" type wireless connection.What I gained from this unit was so much more. This router has 4 ethernet connections as well as 2 wireless channels. One primary for the owners use and a completely seperate channel for guests to use.Both have separate IDs as well as access codes. The MBR95 can also be used with cable or other fixed type systems. I am a full time RVer and this has been a huge upgrade in my internet access capability. I am curently using my same 3G modem with excellent results. I am going to try a 4G modem soon and see how that works. This router will support either type modem. It can also interface other wireless devices such as printers with ease. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting high quality wireless service for their computer network at work or at home. I am using Verizon Wireless for my phone and wireless modem and have had outstanding service even in remote areas here in...Read more

This review is from: Cradlepoint Wireless Router MBR95 (Personal Computers)

We live in a rural area with Verizon Wireless "broadband." To use the term "broadband" for our USB modem (Pantech UM175) is a stretch. We routinely get below 100k download speed, but it's better than dialup. In fairness, early in the morning we're in the 300-500k range, but not for very long as the network traffic picks up.

My wife and I were running a sneaker net, trading the modem with each other when we each wanted to access the Net. The Cradlepoint router makes all of that history--and I'm a hero to boot. We use the UM175 plugged into the Cradlepoint and it works flawlessly. There's nothing we can do about the speed, but at least running the modem back and forth between machines is a thing of the past. (We'll upgrade to 4G when the signal is available out here in god's country).

We've been using it for about 45 days now and it has worked flawlessly. We purchased it from a local retailer who recommended it highly. She said Cradlepoint has really made a...Read more

Too many bugs, November 2, 2011

I was very enthusiatic about MBR95 when I read the positive reviews and decided to buy one from Amazon. I actually ordered another one for my school before I tried out my own. Even when I spotted a bug right out of the box when setting it up for the first time, I tolerated it and still hoped this is a big step up from my old WRT54GL. But after about two weeks of frustration I finally can't stand it any more. I don't know why this product gets so good reviews. Maybe people haven't used it for long? But it really doesn't take long to see its problems.

Setting up the first MBR was fine. Quick and Easy. Then I saw the alert that a newer firmware version 3.3.0 was available. So after verifying the router could work, the first thing I did was select auto update for the firmware. Then the first bug emerged. The update took a while to finish, but, after that it still showed version 3.2.4 and still alerted me about a newer version! I repeated this step for 3 times, all the same...Read more
