| Switching Devices Question I currently have 2 unlimited plans one for work and one for personal use. I was looking at buying a 4G LTE Router the MBR1515 but they are discontinuing them. So they offered me the new one forget the name of it but anyways. Can I switch from a Smart phone (4G LTE) to a 4G LTE router and keep everything? |

| Don't go through Verizon CS to change devices. Instead, do it on your own by swapping the SIM cards directly from your phone into your modem/router. The UML290 modem or one of the JetPack routers are popular choices. (Note that you may need to use a SIM adapter to accommodate the different card sizes.) |

If you upgrade and take a subsidized device, you will lose your unlimited. Buy your own device at full retail through ebay or something (check with seller to make sure esn is good) and then do as the other poster said and swap the sim cards. |

Hello Everyone,
I was recently got the Idea of buying a 4G LTE router from Verizon to share my data because I have unlimited on our federal government plan. We want to test out this out right now until we can later buy cradlepoint devices. I was wondering if I could tether my phone to my new wireless router the ASUS RT-N66R which does support 3G/4G. The router is on the latest firmware currently. I spent hours trying to get it to connect until 2 things worked for me. If I put the router into Repeater mode I can get a signal off my phone using wifi tether. That's a Motorola Droid 4 Rooted on 4.1.2 which I would like to use to tether full time to the router. For some reason I can't tether USB to the router but wifi to router works Now when I used my company phone we pay for hotspot and tethering well I turned tethering on it did not work. The Tethering from phone to the router worked when I put in *99***9# I don't understand why but it worked and it was fast. I also was using a galaxy S4. So I was wondering if anyone had a solution to me using my personal phone to share data but I need to get the USB tethering to work I don't know if anyone knows a bypass to use the official usb tether. All help is appreciated. |
