I have a CBA850 and need to choose a modem for it. I will be using this in pass-through mode to a unifi USG and it will be used in an RV all over the country.
Which modem should I choose?
Any other recommendations or comments are welcome.
Oh and this is for Verizon service.

MC400LP6 if you must have CBA850. You will have problems with Verizon sim due to propriety router firmware. Its sim-based switching function will switch your modem's carrier config to Verizon firmware and config causing it to not work on Verizon for most phone sims but less with tablet sims. Generic firmware of the modem will work with your Verizon sim if there is a way to disable sim-based switching.
If you are after passthrough mode, you could use DMZ mode http://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=49 I would suggest you get EM06 or EM12 instead. Though with Verizon you are already NAT'd with a private ip.
