Wireless Router for a 3G Card

maxy jazz

Hi, can anyone recommend a wireless router which works with a 3G broadband card like o2. Basically I want the 3G card to act as the network provider to the router.

I'm also looking for the same thing...except with a card from 3. Did some googling and came across this...

...but I'm not sure if it will work with the card from 3. I'm guessing it would need to have a USB port but it doesn't specify this.

Can anyone clarify if this wil work or not?

All providers use Huawei cards. These all work with the Linksys router...

Hi,

The Linksys Router you are lookingh at only Supports Vodafone and requires a Pcmcia 3g cards

If you want to use other 3g operators you need to buy the universal vesion of this router

Here is the code of the universal one WRT54G3G-EM

I have one of the routers and it works well and I had 10 pc's running off it with no problem

Not true. I have used that specific Linksys model with O2, Voda & Three.
You will obviously need to configure it correctly for each provider...
