The 6620L has LTE bands 4 and 13 only -that means Verizon's LTE network, but no international LTE systems. That said, none of Verizon's other hotspots can roam globally at all, so we're leading the pack here. I was happy to see an external antenna port on the back, which could be used with an extra $19.99 antenna (sold by Verizon) to further boost signal if needed.īand support is designed for Verizon's network and decent, if not ideal, global roaming. I found a spot just opposite an XLTE tower so I could pull down 23Mbps down and 31Mbps up, but your mileage will most certainly vary there. Speeds, of course, vary depending on your Verizon network coverage. In standard 802.11n, 2.4GHz mode, I found that, like with other hotspots I've tested recently, performance dropped off sharply at about 40 feet. The 6620L supports 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi on the 2.4 or 5GHz bands, with 20MHz or 40MHz channels. If you're looking for a home solution with Verizon, consider the company's home LTE Internet, which costs $90 for 20GB (and can also be combined with multi-device plans.) 10GB is $80, and 20GB-probably the minimum for home use-is $130. A 6GB plan, which I'd consider the minimum for healthy business travel, is $60/month on Verizon. Let's just take a moment to remind you that mobile 4G hotspots are not for primary, home Internet access. In the UI, you can monitor the battery status by percentage full, and secondary charging cuts off at 25% battery. On the front of the hotspot, there's a slider which switches between a micro USB port (for charging the hotspot) and a full-sized USB (for using the battery to charge other devices).

That's slightly longer than our previous Editor's Choice, the MHS291L ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window), because Verizon is using a newer, more power-efficient Qualcomm chipset here, moving up from the MDM9615 to the MDM9625. I got 15 hours, 17 minutes of video streaming on the device. The 6620L's 4000mAh, removable battery is a wonder to behold. You can hook up 15 devices, five more than many other hotspots.

There's the usual VPN passthrough, manual DNS, firewall, port filtering, and forwarding, but there's also a parental control system that lets you block and whitelist specific Web sites by device, and "WiFi privacy separation" which prevents peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connections between devices using the hotspot. The Web-based management interface has far more options. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions.

You can't switch Wi-Fi passwords using the on-screen interface like you can with touch-screen AT&T hotspots, but you can switch between 2.4 and 5GHz to alleviate crowded-network emergencies. The hotspot's home screen shows you signal strength and data used up-front, and you can drill down into the interface for more detail on signal, battery, and connected devices. On the front, it has a 2-inch, non-touch color LCD with three navigation keys below the screen. The MiFi 6620L ($142.86 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) is a chunky but handsome matte-black device at 2.6 by 3.7 by 0.76 inches (HWD) and 4.74 ounces. Physical Features, Battery, and Service Plan With Verizon's superior XLTE network, which we rated as best in the nation in this year's Fastest Mobile Networks tests, this is clearly the hotspot to get for national and international business travelers and our new Editors' Choice. It supports more devices, for more hours of use than anything else we've seen, and it has plenty of useful bells and whistles. The new Verizon Jetpack MiFi 6620L ($199.99, or $49.99 with contract) is almost everything you could want from a mobile hotspot.
