Some questions about MR1100 media streaming

Hi,   I would like to know if the media streaming service of the MR11 is done through the 4G data of a FAI service (paid service) or if it's from an internal network of the router (free service) ? ...

    What country are you in?  Here in the USA, the MR1100 is only available on AT&T.  Media streaming (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, etc.) streams over the internet using your cellular plan's data allocation.

     

    In my case, I have AT&T unlimited.  My kids stream all sorts of content on their iPads in the car without issue.

     

    The MR1100 and MR2100 are cellular modem devices.  They will require a Cellular data plan in the country for which you want to use it (or roaming).  

     

    The MR1100 does also offer "data offloading" in which case you can use it like a wireless access point but you need to connect it to another (wired) broadband connection that you have access to.
