There is no monthly fee for Airave. It just acts like a mini tower. Your minutes are used according to your plan. Now, if you want unlimited minutes for all phones connected to the Airave, that is $25 a month.

I agree, but if you're on the edge of a coverage area, it might be just what you need.
depends on several factors. GPS is very important followed by your data speed to the ISP. its advised to put the arivana on your router behind not in front. i think thats how you have it setup based on your post.
i have had both of them and never had any issues. i have the latest airvana now and it never gave me any issues and i have had it since launch.
but the most important is the GPS antenna. make sure it has a good LOS to the sky.
My setup is Modem to router, router to Airave. But its weird because if I leave my internet idle for a couple hours or so then I try to use my wireless signal it will show that the signal is fine and that I am connected, but it doesnt work at all.
So I have to unplug my modem,router, & airave then plug in my modem (let it cycle),then router (let it cycle), then airave and then it works fine. And if I keep using the internet I have no issues, but every morning I have to reset all of my internet stuff.
And also since hooking up the airave my ipod/pad always forgets my ssid so I have to put it back in every day. But my evo doesnt forget...(insert funny android vs apple pun here)
But I never had that issue with my ipod/pad forgetting my network p/w.
agreed, do you have DSL or sat or cable?
i dont have to do any of that. this sounds like something in your home network that is affecting your service.
do you have any QoS settings set on in your router page? the lights on the airvana, are they solid (the data light may be blinking)?
what router are you using?
I recently contacted sprint about my signal (or lack thereof) since the latest PRL update. I told them that I never had good 3g speed at home, but my voice signal would be decent (most of the time around 3 bars). But since the latest prl update my phone would struggle to get 1 bar. And 3g was pulling download speed around .04mbps.
They suggested the "airave" to me, it did cost me around $100 but they waved the monthly fee.
I got the airave yesterday before I went into work. I followed the instructions to a "T" hooked it up, and left for work. When I got home my wireless internet didnt work, nor did the airave. I talked to one person on the airave customer line (the guy wasnt the most pleasant person), and he couldnt help my problem. I finally just had to reset my router to get wireless internet to work again.
Finally, this morning I got on the phone once again with airave customer support, this time it went MUCH better. I actually had to setup a seperate port in my router for the airave to run. After about an hour of being on the phone we finally got the airave to work, and now I must say;
THIS THING IS AWESOME.
I went from no signal to having a full signal, my 3g went from nothing to 2mbps!. Which obviously I wont be using 3g when at home, but it is nice to know that I can pull those kind of speeds. And most importantly I can make and recieve calls.
To anyone who is in a poor reception area I highly recommend calling sprint about the airave. But be prepared to be on the phone with airave customer support for at least an hour (if not more).
indeed many know this. both units i never paid a dime for nor any monthly service. at least you got some relief. once your ISP provider gets you back up and running, re-test.
Wow! It IS bigger! Look how it dwarfs that woman!
lol, its actually a guy. He is comfortable enough with his sexuality to wear a purple sweater with khakis.
