So, the bullet is in station mode. And the bullet must be routing (not
bridging). What kind of Netgear router are you using? Is it possible to log
in to the Verizon hotspot to see what it thinks?

You need to be thinking bridging,
not routing.

Michael,
One other thought about your problem. Maybe you have some other setting in
the Bullet that is preventing your connection (maybe locked on a channel or
something). You might consider making a backup of your Bullet configuration
and then "factory reset" it and try configuring it again from

While bridging an AP-mode interface is fine, without hacky tricks adding a wifi

+1 for checking that there is single network with/in 192.168.1.0/24
If both/all sides use that network range, thing will likely not work.

Yeah, that is a plausible theory. Modern radios usually support older ones
without a problem, so my initial N radio vs AC theory didn't really make a
lot of sense (as I said at the time). I like the WPA quirk better.
To reiterate, I'd start

If you still cannot connect to the wifi hotspot after that - then it would
be prudent to start trouble shoot. Let's cro

If you have created a backup config, you can restore it after the factory
reset, if necessary or desirable. The goal of my suggestion is just to rule
out an accidental misconfiguration of some obscure setting that might be
preventing the connection.

Yeah they usually have a couple options, but only a couple. There are some
really wacky issues from years
I'm considering using some Ubiquity radios (Ubiquiti BULLET-M2-HP) for a
field deployable network. They say they use PoE to power the units.
However, the PoE specs say 48V, while the Bullet data sheet says says max
24V. Ubiquiti has their own PoE power inserters, but they run off 120V and

You’re going to be looking at double the amperage if you cut the voltage in
half in order to maintain the same wattage. Simply cutting the voltage in half
w/o changing the amperage will result in half the power. I doubt that the
equipment will work properly at half the power, or with double the
"Double the amperage" is nonsense... These power supplies are
constant-voltage, the amperage is merely reporting how much current is
