Recommendation for a known working AT&T LTE device?

jdubin

Anyone have a recommendation for a device which works with AT&T's LTE network? I'd prefer a pure USB device, but USB tethering of a hotspot would be fine, too. I know there's the HCL, but there's a difference between "working" and "works, but took me 5 hours of firmware hacking and custom scripts" which HCLs don't do such a great job of explaining.

Thanks!

I have an interest in this, too. I either need to get something working with pfSense, or I have to use a cradlepoint device for an upcoming CCTV project.

I came here looking for similar info.
pfSense docs show

One of the last listings is "NDIS miniport" and plugging in this new Verizon mifi into usb it can tether. Windows shows it as a Remote NDIS sharing device.

I'm thinking of just plugging this into my box and seeing if I can add an interface.
Thoughts?
Anyone with experience on this ?
I'm needing as a temporary WAN connection for ~60 days. I'd prefer straight through pfSense.

Mini PCI Express to USB adapter

I am using Sierra MC7700/ATT in DIP mode with good results, Although it is a internal module. It saves the headache of modeswitching the device from mass storage device. You could mount one in a miniPCIe to USB adapter with SIM like above suggestion.

Here is a cheaper bare version:
