[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 3303944, member: 10973"] After my Router died was looking at routers for my network/internet connection through Atlas wireless. Out in the sticks where internet providers are far and few. Once in a while I will use my ATT phone as a hot spot as Atlas isn't the most reliable provider in the world. Just for grins I ran a speed test comparison between Atlas and my phone. Wow what a difference. Atlas down was 3.17 and ATT was 41.6. This started me thinking of switching to an ATT hot spot and ditching Atlas. After the smoke cleared I got an unlimited plan from ATT added to my phone bill for 10 bucks more than I have been paying Atlas. The mess up (I think) was ordering an AT&T Unite Express 2 while working with ATT because I didn't really know what I would need. I have a mixed wired and wireless network right now all tied into an 8 port wired router. Thinking I could just ad a switch to the Unite but just discovered it doesn't have a RJ port. It has a USB port and saw an adapter on Amazon but... It looks like the Unite is really designed to be used as a portable hot spot and not sure it is what I really need. Asking those that might know, should I get the adapter and go with the Unite or return it and get something else to connect to ATT with? [/QUOTE]
