I Love itNov 16, 2011
By Bill K.
I am traveling the country in an RV and use this when on the move, and when my campsite does not have a stronger signal. I have an antenna for it, which I stick on the roof of my camper, it brings the signal strength to about -78, which is good enough to do general web surfing, but not streaming movies.
One other comment. While driving, I keep the modem connected with the USB cord that comes with it. I have had it fall in to a glass of water twice. I open the openings on the side and blow all the water out. I then put it in my a/c vent for about ten minutes. It usually will not work for about half an hour, but soon it will come back. As soon as I get it working again, I leave it on for several hours to help get rid of any excess water. It is a tough little sucker and I highly recommend it.

Solid data connection for a fringe service areaOct 07, 2011
By J. Howeth
This modem replaced my Sierra 597 that kept dropping signal in an unreliable Sprint 3G service area. This 598 modem is much more stable and, with the external antenna connection gives me 4-5 bars of signal strength. It is connected to a Cradlepoint wireless router that makes our rural home a great hotspot and downloads movies to the Roku box.
