First Amazon Review. Worth my time

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024

This is my first review on Amazon. I’ve ordered probably hundreds of things over the last several years. And this is the best thing I have bought here.

I just purchased a one bedroom condo and am living here by myself. I have searched around for internet providers but it was like pulling teeth trying to find one that serviced my area or could come out without asking me the same questions over and over just to redirect me to someone else. I decided to do my own research since I heard about mobile hotspots. I purchased this little orange guy and man. This thing rocks.

Mind you - I live alone. I am not a gamer so I do not need super fancy internet. But I have used 3 devices at once on this thing; phone, laptop and TV. All for streaming. Netflix, web browsing, and have even left multiple tabs open on each device to see how well it functioned. I have been using this for almost a week now and have only seen it lag slightly twice. But it was barely noticeable!

I pay for the $89/month unlimited internet. What’s great about it is no contracts. No hidden fees or any crap like that. Or you can do pay as you go. Per GB. It’s SO convenient for just myself in my condo. I would even say it could probably work great for 2-3 people.

It reaches quite a bit of distance just like a normal router. Most of the time I have it in another room and it still works great. No lag, not slow.

It is saving me lots of money in the long run, too. I can also bring it anywhere. Even around the world. You will need to pay a bit more for the internet in that case, but if you are a traveler this is a great solution for quick and easy internet on the go.

Set up was a breeze. Literally just download the app and boom. Pay for what you want then you’re golden. I am not tech savvy at all so if I can do it without a struggle you will definitely be able to as well.

10/10 recommend.

Great travel companion

SOLIS Lite 4G is simple to use, the cost is very reasonable and it works every time. Ideal for traveling or when your internet provider service gets interrupted for a few days. The size is suitcase friendly. It is one of those items that just gives peace of mind.

My Eyes Are Up Here!

Only connects to T-Mobile and AT&T so I paid for a worthless brick

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023

UPDATE: The wifi mobile hotspot is a worthless brick. After I bought it and paid a bunch of money for non-refundable data packages, they dropped Verizon as a carrier they support. IT WILL ONLY CONNECT TO AT&T and T-MOBILE, NEITHER OF WHICH HAS USEABLE SERVICE IN MY AREA. And they never told their customers that this was coming, or that it happened! I only found out they bricked my device when our fiber internet went down. I thought... no problem! I bought this nifty device to get me through an outage such as this... NOT!

Don't waste your money on this bait-and-switch product. Maybe one of these two carriers work in your location now, but there is nothing stopping Solis from dropping them in the future too. Oh... and offering new buyers of their device "lifetime" free data (1 GB/month) right after I bought mine (I get no such deal) was kind of like them saying "Hey, we bricked this product you just bought, and now we're going to throw the brick at you. Don't let the door hit you on the way out." I guess the consolation is... I wouldn't be able to use the data anyway? Make no mistake, this company hates it's customers.

Here's my original view before they bricked their product:

We have fiber internet but it goes out frequently and we can't work if we don't have internet. We needed a flexible backup solution for occasional use that didn't lock us in a contract or require high prices for data. And we also wanted a mobile solution that wasn't locked to a single carrier because we have dead zones on our island where not all the carriers work. This product works for our needs.

It does need some tweaks, however. At our house the fastest cellular internet is Verizon and this puck doesn't want to connect to it. It either connects to AT&T or T-Mobile. The T-Mobile is about 4 MB/sec (update, now 1 MB/sec) and the AT&T is 0.5 MB/sec. Verizon is over 30 MB/sec. Why does it even connect to AT&T when the connection is too slow to be useful? I can keep hitting the scan button on the device until it stops trying AT&T and connects to something faster, but after a few tries it tells me that I've scanned too many times and I need to wait an hour before trying again. The puck does eventually connect to Verizon if I'm patient with it and keep trying, but there should be an easier way. They really need to fix this with a firmware update. IDEALLY the app would show the user all the signal strengths and let the user decide which one to connect to. An added bonus is a person could use the puck to evaluate what cell signals are best at a location. I know a realtor that carries 3 phones around with different carriers on each because part of his job is to be able to tell clients what carriers will work at a specific address. This puck has all that information- there is just no way for the user to extract it. I know people that would buy this puck just for that purpose.

I was able to integrate this puck to my home's wireless mesh by using a wifi to ethernet bridge. This makes the mobile internet seamless to the mesh- no need to configure every device to use the puck because the mesh does all the work. Just configure the bridge to connect to the puck and it's the only device that needs to connect to keep the entire mesh network operational. This greatly increases the range, and the number of devices that can be connected is up to the mesh, not the puck (I think my mesh can handle 99 devices). If the puck could accept an ethernet dongle the bridge device wouldn't be necessary (maybe their product developers will read this, hint hint). At least with the USB adapter that comes with the puck, the puck can power the bridge if necessary.

It's a useful device but it needs some tweaks to be perfect. It looks like most of the tweaks can be completed by updating firmware and/or the app.

Cute portable hotspot

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2024

I love the shape and color of this hotspot. If I use it as a charger, I have to remember to bring the usb cable along as well as a charging cable. The first time I used it, I didn't realize I was out of data until I couldn't get any service. The only way to tell I was out of data was to find a place with internet and check the app. I'm not sure if there's a way to get a low data warning or not but now I just remember to check. It was super easy to add more data once I realized. I like the free data you get every month. It would be nice if it rolled over but it's still a good perk. I used this in Japan and it worked great both as a hotspot and as a charger. It has both form and function. Looks adorable, isn't too big and works great.
