Buying this prevents users from having to buy a 4G modem for their home as well as separate router to send signals out over Wi-Fi. This one box does it all. It's a pretty slim one too, so it shouldn't be too worrisome to install. The WLAN portion supports 802.11b/g/n and functions on Windows Vista 32/64, Windows 7 32/64 and Mac OS8 or higher. It's available now from http://www.clear.com and from CLEAR retail stores and authorized dealers for $120 for an outright purchase, or $7/month for a lease.
