This Product Discontinued or Obsolete
While current owners of this device or plan may continue to find performance to be adequate for the foreseeable tech-future, we do not recommend upgrading to or purchasing it.
Cradlepoint is focused on the mobile enterprise market, and though Cradlepoint used to have many options for "average" users most have been discontinued over the years as Cradlepoint has focused on the higher end of the market.
Individuals with specific needs though do often find value in going with Cradlepoint hardware.
The Cradlepoint MBR1200B ($249) stands out for having two USB ports, and support for load balancing across multiple connections. It is the most affordable "entry level" Cradlepoint router available.
