+1 for the Stride Sitelinx. We have put two of them in the field and they are quite a bit easier to set up than the others. One is using Wifi and the other is wired. The first one gave us trouble when using AT&T service from Samsung S7 phone to access the HMI web page, but A/D tech support worked diligently for about a month and kept in contact with us until that issue was resolved. My personal phone (Samsung S7 on Verizon) never gives me any trouble connecting.
I have frequently downloaded updates to the Red Lion HMI over the VPN and done quite a bit of online editing using RSLogix 500 for the Micrologix 1400 at each site. Sure, it is slower than being there, but much faster than a 3 hour drive!
