I have the AC791L (the model before the 7730L) and it has great range. Check your settings in the jetpack's control panel and select long range broadcast. On the AC791L, the setting is here:
Jetpack Settings-> scroll down to WiFi Options-> then select either "Short", "Medium" or "Long" range.
There should be a similar setting on your model.
After talking with them, it seams they decided to take that feature away with the replacement models. They say they even have a new model, out April 20. It also lacks that feature.

In light of recent developments,I guess I'll rejuvenate this thread instead of starting a new one.
I bought a Verizon 7730L Jet Pack. I've found out two important things. The reception range and speed are, at best, not quite equal to that of the Galaxy S5 I replaced. I was using the S5 exclusive as a hot spot. Second, the range of the wifi output range is nowhere near comparable to that of the S5.
For example, I can place the Jet Pack on my motor home dash and can't get a signal from the bedroom.
I am still trying to work with the antenna access points in the Jet Pack to see if I can get a better incoming signal. I guess you could say the Jet Pack is weak, coming and going.
For years, Charter has been so arrogant in their pricing as an IP with little competition, in my area.
With the new, "unlimited data" plan, my original objective was to give Charter the boot. I still have that objective, but, unless I can achieve a more reliable Verison wifi signal to use throughout my home, my plan looks bleak.
Maybe they'll put a new tower on my street some day.

I actually built the 800 mHz yagi back in the early 2000's specifically for use in a campground where I couldn't get a phone signal. It accomplished what it was made for back then. I just tried it along with the Wilson Yagi, a Trucker and a magnetic mount on a steel plate. For some reason, the homemade yagi seems to work the best.jcpainter wrote:

I have been looking at this model as well as the 7730L. I see a "Y" adapter made to plug into both ports at the same time. I have never seen anything like this. Maybe it is better than one. I'm no expert, but I can't see the advantage of two ports and connecting them together.
