Cheap $20 a month Stand Alone Unlimited Rural Internet through AT&T Wireless

[sd455dan]

I decided to try and give it a go if Best Buy still had one but they were out with no info on if they would get any more. Guess I procrastinated too long. I'm almost certain I would have to do something like sodamo did if I could get it to work at all. Guess if they are all gone I will still be stuck with 1.5Mbps from CL and begging for the customer loyalty price every year.

WOW- they are now scalping these things like tickets to a concert...

on Ebay 2 listings with buy it now prices of $199 and $299... and the $299 is an open box used only (once or twice) but does come with ac adapter, still quite the mark up for a used item.

One other seller has 6 left but no sim included and only a 90 day warranty.
6 left and sold 6 in 24 hours.

yeah, I know!
any idea where to get a couple?

there were 6 at one ebay site,

but cost about $165 each including shipping and will have to get ATT to send the sim.

Will be interesting to see if these 6 last through the day.

Mentioned to a family member about how well these work and was asked to get one on the way- so I did.
Told them don't get upset if they are available in a couple days for $99:ashamed:

3 sold in the last hour, 3 left
Going Going...
all gone
New ebay for sale ads are all $234.99-$299

so i have all the settings, but it's not finding any network.
i wonder if i need to get this router connected to the internet via cable
first?

I don't have your router so lack specifics but yes, USB connection from the router to the Mobley and apply appropriate settings. I believe the page you are showing is the wireless network your router creates. My apologies if I'm wrong and adding to the confusion. I'd add screenshot from my gl-ar150 if it would help, but I think someone here already has your setup and working.
Best of luck.

ok i understand that,
but the little dongle, Mobley, has no usb ports,
oh wait,
DING DING DING
found one!

 

[Dutch445]

sorry, i totally missed this little cover, my mobley was hanging in a window in the bedroom,
and i assumed it pulled the wifi signal, then turned it over in the Asus router and strengthened it

but, i did get it hooked up and working, my cell connected to it and speed test was 17 down and 11 up,
which is triple my DSL download speed, and 1000% better upload!

i tried connecting with my laptop, (phone was with 5gz, laptop only 2.4) and had a yellow exclamation point
saying no internet, but i had very slow internet,.. i'm going to shut all off tonight and try again later,
move things to a better position than my kitchen counter,,,, but progress..
thanks all!

 

[sodamo]

Yea, they hide it really well. Someone on another forum was convinced his didn't have one. Sounds like playing with some settings and you'll be good to go.

 

[Dutch445]

yup, have it working well now, speeds look good, only have wifi at 2.4 in laptop,
but smartphone does have 5.0 capability. so we can run our phones up high,
and laptops down low, and maybe not notice many slowdowns if we are both
using some bandwith..
gonna have to try streaming some tv now!

so far so good!

Glad so many of you where able to get before the mobley's got scarce and prices shot through the roof.
