I am glad you found a solution to your issue. Yeah firmware updates are important to keep up on. As for blogs...they're a good place to start, but it's impossible to write about each and every situation. This is where we all get to experiment and find things out together. Hey Robert,

Cradlepoint's live chat enabled me to finally get this working. Turns out the firmware needs to be updated, a fact which I would have expected to see on their web site. Once that was done it was easy to set up and began working immediately. My point is that too much of these blogs assume it is all magic and will work on "plug and plat" basis. Not so much.

The modem works fine on my laptop, but when I plug it into the Cradlepoint it simply says there is no valid WAN device attached. It is very unclear to me how the modem will work with the IPad and these devices. The modem requires an app on my Mac, but no way to install that on the IPad that I know of. I configured the modem on the Mac, but how do I activate it? These are the sorts of details we need on all of these general blogs about great ideas.

Unfortunately most of the potential customers are iPhone users who do not know there is better data service to be had. Built in data is convenient though, so here's hoping for an LTE partnership for iPad rev2. Glad to hear you compare the iPad to the iPod touch and not the iPhone.
