I have the Mifi 2200 to replace the PHS-300 and V740 wireless card combo, but when I am on Wifi with the MiFi it disconnects constantly. Sometimes it fine and other times it is disconnecting and reconnecting every few minutes. This is not to be confised with going dormant. I am strongly considering returning the unit and just going back to my Cradlepoint. But the MiFi has almost 4 hours of battery life over the about 3 my PHS-300 has.

So, if I've got a Mifi, charging or not, why would I want to use it as a USB modem? Why on earth wouldn't I just charge it and use it as a wifi router???

This really sounds like a solution in search of a problem...]]>Jul 11th 2009 12:41AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/10/new-cradlepoint-firmware-turns-mifi-into-wait-for-it-a-3g/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/10/new-cradlepoint-firmware-turns-mifi-into-wait-for-it-a-3g/Jul 21st 2009 5:20PM
