You can use its Web interface to change the settings so that it also works as a tethered USB modem. When connected to a computer, by default, the router only charges its battery by drawing juice from the USB port. On the other side are an external antenna port and a standard Micro-USB port for charging via a power adapter (included) and connecting the router to a computer via a USB cable (not included). I found that there's no way to change this with the MiFi 4620L, so make sure you don't leave it somewhere out of reach, such as in the trunk of the car. Other routers, such as the Clear Spot 4G Apollo, will wake up by themselves when there's a connection request. Unfortunately, pressing the power button is the only way to wake it up. By default, the router automatically goes in to sleep mode when idle for 30 minutes. To turn it off, you'll need to press and hold it for a few seconds. On one side, the router has a power button that you press once to turn it on or wake it up. This is a huge improvement over the Samsung, which doesn't even have a battery gauge. There are also navigation buttons with which to access even more information via the tiny screen. On top the router has a small OLED screen that shows a lot of information, such as a battery gauge, the number of connected Wi-Fi clients, cellular signal strength, and so on. Note that this extra battery might not be available for purchase at all Verizon stores. But even then, it's still quite compact, fitting right into any pocket. The new router comes with an extra 3,000mAh (double-capacity) battery as an option, which will increase its thickness and weight slightly when used. Measuring 3.76 inches by 2.36 inches by 0.53 inch, and weighing just 3.2 ounces, the MiFi 4620L is about the same size as the SCH-LC11. Those who want to pay less for an unlimited data plan with the tradeoff of not having 3G network access should also check out the Clear Spot Voyager. That said, if you're a business user who needs a mobile router to supply a fast Internet connection while being on the go for an extended amount of time, the MiFi 4620L for now is one of the best choices.
