Review: It's back and it's worth every penny for hotspot users! - Works perfectly right out of the box to connect my hotspot and both improve the wifi and LTE signal and allow for ethernet connections. Very easy to setup and configure, although the web interface and the router service offerings are meager compared to DD-WRT and even Linksys' for their WRT line. Speeds are great in the unit, but I have had random periods of slowness where even accessing assets inside the LAN are slow or halted. It might not have quite the horsepower of the WRT1900ACS that it replaced so I may move some devices to another router.
Review: DC112A paired w/ Att Aircard 815S & Antenna - First thing to know, I hardly ever write reviews. I'm writing to review the product and help anyone who's happen an issue like I've had. I purchased an ATT Aircard 815s (mobile hotspot) from a local ATT store. I did this because I was going to be moving out to an area where fiber or any sort of internet besides satellite was not foreseen. I hoped a 4g hotspot with unlimited data on an uncrowded tower might be a fix. I then purchased the Netgear DC112A to hopefully be able to connect my computer with an ethernet cord. As we worked on fixing up our house before we moved in, I setup the hotspot and the router to see what kind of service and speeds I would be getting. I didn't get what I had been hoping. I was generally getting 1-4mbs down and 10-13 up. I decided to order an omnidirectional antenna from maxmostcom through desertcart. Hooked up the antenna to the router with the ts9 connectors and 30' lowloss cables and strung out in the front yard on a 10' pvc pole. That was better, started getting 2-3 bars of 4g lte service however it was spotty. To try and solidify the connection I did a permanent mount through the roof. That actually made the connection much stronger. Now I'm getting 3-4 bars of service, 15-18 mbs down and 20 up. Not too shabby in my opinion. Everything is going smooth for the better part of 2 days then bam! Nothing. No more 15mbs connection, antenna looks lost on the cradle, I tried to reboot it through the netgear genie app and same problem. I wish I had found others that were similar setup and had the same issue but after hours of researching I finally just tried attempting a few different options. After all that time and effort I finally just pushed in the little reset button on the router itself with a pen. The router rebooted, 4 bars of service came back, 18mbs strong, works like a charm again. I've done that for 2 nights now, not sure what causes it but that little reboot is simple enough and it only takes maybe 30 seconds. The router itself is nice and appealing to me, easy to pack around if needed. The fans get a bit loud when it's cooling down but no biggy really. It does what it's supposed to do even if resetting it once a day is minutely to inconvenient. Good product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatable with the verizon jetpack ?**
A: NO, it is not compatible with the Verizon hotspot! It only works with old Netgear hotspots but you can use a Verizon sim card for service.

**Q: will this work for the netgear mobile hotspot 770s?**
A: The 770s is not listed as a compatible device.  You will need the Desktop Cradle for AirCard 77XS

**Q: How well does the dock increase the signal of the hotspot it self on 4g lte thanks**
A: Ryan is incorrect, it does increase on Bands 5 and 2 which are North American bands, as well as 7 which is Canadian.The device has an internal antenna, which does boost the signal and can be increased by plugging in an external antenna (which disables the internal).  The 2 "Rabbit ear" antennas are for WiFi.When docked, the Cradle takes over the majority of the hotspots functions.

**Q: Will this work with a sprint netgear zing hotspot 771s?**
A: Yes, this works with Air card 771s on Sprint. 
The DC112a Zain model will not tho. I found this out by wasting $63 on eBay.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product!
*by A***R on May 21, 2017*

Great product!!! We bought a hotspot to use at home because satellite internet is too expensive and the daily allowances are ridiculous. The only problem was that we could not leave it in a central location and use it everywhere in the house. We had the apple airports, but as our hot spot had no Ethernet port, we could not use them. Bought this and it works great!!! Easy to hook up and covers the whole house! We use it with a jetpack (AC 791L) from Verizon.
