I am ordering a new Dell XPS 17 (L701??) laptop and need advice on what wireless option to order. I currently have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop and a Dell Dimension 3000 desktop computer both of which can access the internet by using a Verizon 720 USB modem (Qualcomm 3G CDMA) for broadband internet access.

I do not have DSL as I live in a remote area of Georgia approximately 75 miles southwest of Atlanta. When Verizon 4G LTE becomes available in my area I plan to subscribe to it with whatever wireless attachment it requires. So here are my questions:1.

Will my current Verizon 720 Modem work with my new computer if the Intel Centrino Advanced WIMAX feature is installed on the system?2. When Verizon 4G LTE becomes available in my area will the Intel Centrino Advanced WIMAX feature on my new computer in any inhibit or thwart my ability to use the new Verizon 4g network?3. I use my laptop in my motorhome about 5 months out of the year visiting both metropolitan and remote areas of the US. I'm considering the Dell Intel Centrino WIMAX option with the hope/expectation that this feature will give me greater access speed to the internet. If this is not the case, then I won't order it. Or, if this feature can only be used with a SPRINT wireless plan then obviously I would not be interested in it at all.Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help. To; NVRambo, toughbook, & M91-30.thanks ya'll for your help. I have received my new Dell computer and have learned the following: The wireless internet connection on my new computer works fine with my existing Verizon USB 720 modem and current Verizon plan. The Intel Centrino WIMAX 6250 is of no value without changing plans from Verizon to (Sprint?

I have disabled the WIMAX feature on my new computer and will only use it in the future if I decide to change from my current ISP to another provider. As for whether my current USB 720 modem will work with the new Verizon 4G LTE, that is still an open question. As Rambo suggests, I SUSPECT that if I am interested in Verizon's 4G, I will have to purchase a new 4G modem, and sign up for a new 4G contract at whatever that enhanced feature price is. As for now, my internet connection seems to be working just fine but I obviously am enjoying no benefit from the WIMAX feature as it is currently disabled on my new computer. Thanks again for all your help.
