It's coupled with either a 5GB plan for $50 a month or a 10GB plan for $80 a month. Verizon Wireless currently sells the MiFi 4510L for $49.99 new or for $19.99 refurbished with a two-year contract. After fully charging the hotspot in the morning, we used the MiFi for about four hours and the battery was still half full. We didn't have to reach for the charger even after several days of intermittent use. Verizon rates the MiFi 4510L's battery for up to five hours of use. In Houston, the AT&T hotspot averaged a much higher 11.5 Mbps. upload speeds were just as strong, with the MiFi posting an average speed of 4.7 Mbps, though AT&T's LTE is catching up the Elevate's average upload was 3.34 Mbps. The MiFi 4510L was even 5 Mbps faster than our home Internet connection.

By comparison, the AT&T Elevate 4G averaged 6.62 Mbps and the Sprint Overdrive Pro averaged 5.57 Mbps, although the AT&T hotspot delivered a much faster 24 Mbps down in Houston. That's 16 Mbps faster than its closest competitor, the T-Mobile Sonic 4G. The MiFi 4510L consistently flew past the other hotspots with an average download speed of 23.5 Mbps. We ran the download and upload tests on 10 times in three locations for all four of the hotspots.

At all three of our testing locations, in Lincoln Park, Mayfair, and the near-west suburb Oak Park, the MiFi 4510L maintained four full bars of service. However, we were also very impressed by the consistency of the network's speed and coverage. Verizon's LTE network was fun to test in Chicago-just to see how crazy fast it can get.

However, the MiFi 4510L doesn't include this software because the GPS chip inside the device comes deactivated. Typically, mobile hotspots built by Novatel (such as the Sprint MiFi 4082) include the manufacturer's proprietary MiFi OS, a mini operating system which users can access in the router's control panel to take advantage of location-based services such as local business search and weather updates. The control panel also shows you the device's battery life, connection strength, and the type of data network access available (3G or 4G). There you can change the password, see other connected devices, set the hotspot to power down if it idles, and adjust the security settings. Like with most routers, you can access the 4510L's settings via its URL. In order to use the 4510L while charging, you'll need to plug in the AC adapter. When connected to a PC, the device shuts down the wireless radios and charges the 4510L's battery.

Unfortunately, you can't charge the 4510L over a USB connection to a notebook and broadcast a Wi-Fi signal at the same time like you can with the Samsung SCH-LC11 and the Sprint MiFi 4082 (which even supports sharing an Internet connection directly over USB).

Verizon promises download rates between 5 to 12 Mbps and uploads between 2 to 5 Mbps, but our test results were much faster than that. Verizon's 4G LTE network is available in 178 markets. This hotspot can connect to up to five devices at once. Unlike other mobile hotspots, this one doesn't include a microSD card slot. The back edge of the 4510L houses a microUSB port and a port for attaching an antenna.
