While looking a solution for my secret project where I need to have a dedicated network without using the small office network.
I found FreedomPop hub burst where the best part is that it’s free 4G wireless for the first gigabyte every month. Lowe’s Iris doesn’t use much data if you don’t us any Iris cameras as part of your system. In fact Iris’s Verizon wireless USB set as primary connection gives you 20 megabytes a month, while 5 megabytes a month as backup network connection.
This seems to be the perfect solution where I can have a cellular connection for free and can switch to another cellular network as a backup!
Another great news is that I haven’t experience any issues where the hub disconnect for the past 4 days compare to daily disconnection via Verizon FiOS.
**If you do decided to use the FreedomPop Hub Burst please make sure to change it’s SSID and Network password.**
How do you plug your wired IRIS hub into your FreedomPop device? Mine is a Sprint “Sierra Overdrive” unit which will run either 3G or 4G. It has a mini-USB connection to a power supply, but no way to plug in the usual wired network wiring. I can connect the IRIS hub only by using wire to a network switch, wired to a network extender (one wired connection only). It works works fine, but that’s a lot of hardware.
FreedomPop have a few devices. The one I got is a hub exactly like the one shown on this post where you can plug in your iris hub with a cable.
Can you give detailed instructions on how you set up the port forwarding on your burst
Thanks
