Anyone using Nest cameras/thermostats running off of the Mobley? I am thinking about building a pole barn on on some rural property I have and would like to setup security cameras there as I don't live there at the present.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, assuming you get signal at your new location. The Mobley will connect up to 5 devices, wireless. We use ours in the car alot and it work just fine. At home i have a fortigate firewall that i connect the mobley to and most all my devices behind the firewall have access to the internet thru the firewall to the mobley.

I tried, as well as another more qualified person to port forward thru this GL-AR150 to the outside.....but couldn't get it to work. The interface on this cheap router is a bit difficult to mess with.

Yeah it doesn't show in the print screen I did during the check out but before I selected the $99 option it said there was a $45 activation fee on the FREE unit with a 2 year contract.
All these companies are screwed up in some way. When I converted my OWNED cell phone from contract to prepaid with Verizon the first idiot that handled it put me back on a 2 year contract. When I figured out what he did and got someone else to get the phone on prepaid the fools tried to charge me a $180 early disconnect fee on a phone I OWNED. I forgot how many calls and months it took to get that resolved but I ended up not paying anything for the service I received during that time and they showed a $15 credit on that account.
I'm on my 2nd day of my 2nd month and they don't show a bill for me online yet.
On another note my CL account does showed closed and has a final amount due at about half what the person on the phone told me it would be. I got an email saying they were mailing a final bill so I'm gonna wait for that. They want to charge a $3.50 fee to pay online with a card so screw that.

The issue is that you don't get a true public address with this service. If your cameras use a hosted site (ie Axis Companion), then it'll work like a champ. If you need port forwarding to access cameras, you'll be disappointed.
Ok, that is what I was afraid of... I heard if you had an ATT business account you can get a public IP, anyone know if that is true and what the cost is?

There a number of ip cameras that don't need port forwarding. I have several brands, Foscam, Lorex that work fine without port forwarding.

How does that work?
DynDns....as I understand it.....gets around the need for public IP.. structure, not sure..but still have to have port forwarding. With normal DSL etc very doable, but with cell structure, not sure.

No. Dyndns gets around changing ip addresses.
The way to get around the non public IP is to have the device initiate the connection.
So it (whatever it is) connects to a server. You connect to it through that same server.
Very basically, anyway.
