Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Cradlepoint Confirms PHS300 Will Not Receive an Update for 4G LTE
Permalink  

Cradlepoint has now confirmed that the PHS300 will NOT ever support LTE, due to limitations of the hardware itself - the PHS300's processor is not fast enough to support the super-fast speeds LTE can provide. It is able to support 4G WiMAX devices because while WiMAX is fast (and certainly much faster than 3G), the max WiMAX speeds are are only about 10mbps, and real-world WiMAX speeds are usually somewhat slower than that. LTE has proven to be MUCH faster; if the PHS300 were to be used with an LTE device, users would get cheated out of the great speed their LTE device can offer.

You can read the full details here - Cradlepoint PHS300 Will Not Support 4G LTE Through Verizon

Cradlepoint has beta MBR-1000 firmware for the Pantech 4G modem but it is definately beta software and some have had issues with it. Verizon seems to want us to use the LG modem for 4G, at least that is what their emails have shown discounts for. I don't think anyone has router firmware that works with the LG yet.

Yes, with the beta firmware the MBR1000 will work in a 4G area. You can download the beta software here - http://cradlepoint.com/lte

Please note that if you purchased your MBR1000 through 3Gstore we can't officially support the beta build. The final release is pending and should be available within the next couple of months.

You will also need to download and run this tool if you intend to use the UML290 in a 3G area - Configuring Pantech UML290 for 3G Use (eHRDP Fix) -Tip #72
