First impressions:
Minimal instructions in box.
Anything beyond basic plug-n-play Instruction sheet will require using the online PDF of the owners manual.
Took about two minutes to hook up.
About 3 minutes to acquire GPS position, with the unit setting on the window ledge.
GPS remained stable after moving unit to computer desk, about 3 foot from window.
Initial "System failure light", unplugged power, powered up again, and fault cleared.
Immediate phone capture, with no input from myself.
Unit coverage is excellent throughout house, end of yard (Another 40 foot) and across the street. In other words, once captured, unit will provide coverage everywhere I might expect to use phone while at home.
No stats, but 3G seems to move data quite well.
Using "My Verizon" control panel to set phone access was painless, and very straight forward.
Glitch later on with internet connectivity, suspected caused by me plugging unit into Verizon's Westell Modem/Router instead of the Lynksys router which is plugged into the westell, due to better Wifi coverage from Lynksys unit.
Overall. much better coverage then I expected, with total user transparency.
Best $250.00 that I never spent.
