Long Battery Life & Accessories: The MiFi 8000 comes with a 4400mAh removable battery, promising up to 24 hours of usage. Users appreciate the included accessories like extra batteries, charger, and travel bag. However, some report rapid battery drain, needing frequent recharging.
Performance & Connectivity: Speed tests show averages of 28MB down and 15MB up, with peaks at 62MB down. Dual-band support (2.4GHz/5GHz) ensures stable connections for up to 15 devices. Global LTE compatibility makes it ideal for travelers.
Setup & Plans: The included AT&T SIM requires a separate data plan. Activation is quick (~10 minutes), but users note carrier compatibility issues (e.g., Cricket SIMs may not work). AT&T’s $25/month plan (20GB) is a cost-effective option.
Durability Concerns: While some praise its reliability for camping or remote work, others report charging failures after 6 months. Batteries may degrade quickly, requiring replacements.
Security Features: Advanced encryption and VPN pass-through protect data. Users love the ability to kick off unauthorized devices—handy in shared spaces.
Verdict: A solid choice for on-the-go internet with strong speeds and global use, but battery life and long-term durability are hit-or-miss. Not ideal as a primary home internet solution.
