[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1115321, member: 96560"] Why did you go to a coffee shop to test your new equiptment? Hackers like coffee shops.Lots of possible victims. What security features are on that Inseego? Does it have MAC address filtering? Maybe someone was trying to connect to your hotspot and the device kicked them out. Hence you see no other connected devices. Do u have an iphone? On an iphone you can connect to your PC via usb cable, turn on iphone's hotspot and select usb, to provide internet. Then tell iphone that you trust the connected computer. A wired connection is safer - no possibility of outside contact. On an android it is called usb tethering. [/QUOTE]
