Re: MoFi 3G 3500 router and Rogers Rocket Stick The MOFI3500-3GN is a new router and it has some support for the USA market but the first step was to get 100% support for the Canadian market which is completed.
It is now I believe the only 3g router to support all the sticks in Canada!!!
For the USA market, it is scheduled to have 99% support in about 2-3 weeks from now.
There are many smaller providers that will get the support but the first step is to have 100% support for Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile and Cricket.
Other providers such as Clear will also be supported soon also.
There are many new sticks that has been introduced in the USA market recently which MOFI NETWORK as already started the process to add the support.
Once these new sticks are added, MOFI NETWORK will be the undisputed leader in the 3G support and will continue to update as new sticks gets released.
Many other countries around the world are working with the MOFI router also and currently, there are over 100 modems supported which is already the most of any of the 3G router.
USA has 300 million people and for those that have purchased the MOFI router and are awaiting the support for their sticks, the best bet is to send an email to support@mofinetwork.com and include the model number of the stick and the service provider so they can verify for sure when that stick will be supported.
When the support is ready, there will be a firmware update which is not hard to do and the support team at MOFI will walk you thought it if you are afraid but note that there is a 1 year no hassle warranty also and MOFI stands behind their quality and reliability.
There will also be some video posted on the MOFI site soon on how to do the update as well how to set up the router and other features that are available.
Hope everyone who has the MOFI3500-3GN are happy with it as it was designed to be the best at a great price without cutting down on quality.
I personally have bought some other brands which are doorstops as they decided that support was not important and this is one of the reason why MOFI is dedicated to support as without that, you have a 3G router that does not do 3G! |

| Hi Everyone,
I am planning on installing a ZTE 688 Rogers stick in a MoFI 3600 and putting it at my cottage. The MoFI will be powered all the time and it is my desire that I be able to remotely connect to my network to access my solar inverter (off grid power system) and to access network cameras for monitoring and security. I have a Linux based computer connected (wired) to the 3600. I would use DDNS (DynDNS)
I have never owned a stick and am worried that the connection will not be persistent and once broken I will not be able to connect remotely. I also plan to have the 3600 on a timer so that it only runs from 9 am to 6 pm (to save power).
Q: Anyone have experience with remotely accessing a configuration like this? Will it work if I am away for a week? month?
Q: Upon reboot I guess I would have to hack something together to log me back into the MoFi. Is there a workaround where the password login can be disabled if desired?
Thanks Much!

First thing I would suggest is to test the Rocket Stick at your cottage and see if you are able to get the kind of persistent connectivity you desire -- remembering that its a wireless system that prone to some factors that you or rogers have no control over. If after testing this out for at least a week and you are satisfied with the results Acquire the MoFi 3G 3500 router.
Rogers offers a 30 day money back guaranty on the Rocket Stick -- so if the Rocket Stick does not provide the kind of stable connectivity you are expecting you can cancel the contract and get your money refunded within the 30 day period.
Once you connect the Rocket Stick to the MoFi Router the Mofi Router will automatically establish the connection to Rogers -- so you do not need to worry about passwords etc.
Insofar as power and remote control of the power You must have a power source that has some intelligence -- so if you have that solution in place -- the rest is up to your ability to programme the desired outcome.
Assuming that you are happy with the connectivity that the Rocket Stick provides [after testing] and With the proper remote access solution [Rocket Stick + MoFi + Client remote access capability] you should be able to accomplish your desired objective.
