I can use my phone as a hotspot for my laptop..

True, but with Sprint that is an additional cost for me, even with unlimited data on the phone, hot spot service is additional

Do you have an Android? You might be able to bypass that. The network can't tell if the phone is hot-spotting. The only way Sprint can stop you is if you use a phone they provide that has been disabled.

Your post and your sig line are ironically and humorously at odds.
True...I just have had experience with them over the last 20 plus years of their cellular business practices...

If that does ever happen and service is no longer usable for my needs I will just cancel, $22 a month is cheap and I have no contract so can cancel at anytime I want if at&t no longer wants my business. :D
That being said I am considering getting one thru ATT...lol
Maybe I can get grandfathered in too...it is a good deal.
Shuuuush, don't tell ATT that someone must've made a mistake with the pricing.

What about if you plug into one of the ethernet ports on the router? So your signal path is Mobley-Asus via USB, Asus-computer via ethernet.

I bought the Asus router to answer my own question. On the speed test, it seems to be about three quarters as fast as connecting to the Mobley via wifi. The numbers jump around so it's hard to tell for sure.

Back to back tests vary wildly, at least for me. I have more than 5 devices, many wired, so it doesn't matter if it's slower......it's required.

I haven't noticed it being slower though, either.....

I suppose its possible the USB could be sending higher speeds to the Asus than what the Mobley can push wireless. My speeds are very close whether connected to Mobley or Asus. 25 meg down pretty consistent. Its a huge improvement over the 3 meg I had for $95 a month. I do see higher speeds when connected to the 5G on my phone.
