    Good luck!

    I know that it should work, however it doesn't work. 

    The Aircard doesn't recognise the base at all or bridge the wifi networks. It simply uses it as a charging station & potentially the LTE antenna works but I can't confirm this. Hopefully a fireware update will be out soon for either device.
