3G Broadband Router - WiFi Wireless N (MoFi MOFI3500-3GN) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to use with a Rogers Rocket stick and use it as an internet gateway for three computers and an iPod Touch. Works really well, with occasional connectivity drops that require a reset, maybe once a week. Not sure if it is better than the Rogers Wireless Hub and I shall probably give that a try once my contract expires with the Rocket Stick. I wish it had an extra USB hub to attach a hard drive.

3G Wireless Broadband Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This stylish product is made by LevelOne, has by far the smallest footprint of all routers I have seen, and appears to work with the widest range of 3G modems.
The 3G broadband router turns your 3G wireless broadband into a WiFi connection. Why would you want to do that?
a) to let several computers share one 3G wireless broadband connection simultaneously
b) to use the internet at a place in the house where the cell phone signal is not so great, i.e. place the router where the signal is strong and let it send "the internet" on to your laptop in the basement
The router has an amazing number of advanced settings and features to lock down and filter traffic, so security should not be a problem if you want to set your home network up in any imaginable configuration. It almost works out of the box, just follow the instructions in the small quick start guide provided: attach antenna, insert PCMCIA card, connect the supplied ethernet cable to your PC, connect power. Then start browser and go to 192.168.0.1 , enter password, move to advanced, select 3G under WAN (yes, under WAN) and it is ready. The only thing to know is that for the Verizon PC5750 PCMCIA EVDO card the following settings apply:
Dial-Number: #777
Username: xxxxxxxxxxx@verizonwireless.com (where you put your cell number)
password: vzw
The PC card has to have been activated, which means it has to have been used before. If you don't know your cell number, insert the PC5750 into the computer and connect, the number will appear in the bottom of the Verizon Access Manager software.
By default the wireless network is open, so should be secured. The router antenna output power can be adjusted if you don't need to cover a large area.
I called Technical Support before purchasing and they were prompt and knowledgable.

Nexaira NexConnect 3G/4G SOHO Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We live in an area without broadband services and very marginal cell reception ~95db. When I started full time telecommuting, I needed an alternative to sitting in front of the only window where my air card worked. I selected the SOHO because of the 11n range, price, upgradeable firmware, security and support for 3g/4g.
It took less then 30 min to setup and configure the SOHO and my Verizon USB760 aircard. I only had to make one minor change to the defaults, setting the aircard configuration for stay alive. Gone are the problems I had with the aircard going dormant when it was connected directly into my PC. Range is also good, strong signal 40+ feet away through 3 internal walls. I have not tested the 4g features.
I would have given it 5 stars but the little blue status LEDs are way to bright and distracting with the way the flicker. No need for an LED to be visible at 50 yards if you cannot read the labels from more then 10 feet.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i had purchased this product a month ago and i left a poor rating for item. something i NEVER, EVER thought would happen, happened. someone noticed! 30minutes after leaving feedback, a manager from the company called me to resolve the issue at hand!! my mouth dropped open! this is the very first time that i actually believed that someone cares! my experience may have been rocky in the beginning, but with this little phone call, the road smoothed out and i am definitly happy! this was the most wonderful way for this company to earn ALL of my computer business in the future. if they have the item i need, i will most definitly try and buy it from them. i will go as far as to say, i'd pay a little extra for something just b/c i know that they stand behind their product. Sela is the person that contacted me this morning and he said that he was the manager. WoW! i am stunned! thank you for your consideration in contacting an otherwise unhappy consumer. you have made a believer out of a non-believer!

Alfa R36 802.11 b,g,N Wireless-N 3G USB Mobile Router and AWUS036H Extender - Wide-Coverage WiFi Broadband Router for AWUS036H to Create your very own WiFi Hotspot (or Wireless Bridge / Repeater) with the Signal picked up by the AWUS036H or from any 3G modem including the Fly3G (AWUS036H NOT INCLUDED) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having owned an Alfa AWUS036H, I was hoping the R36 would exhibit the same excellent quality and reliability since they both come from the same company. The feature set and concept behind the R36 plus pairing it with the AWUS036H are just great, but that's just about the only good thing I can say about it. The R36 is quite a big disappointment for me and I don't know how this even passed their quality control or even their usability tests.
First, the R36 won't let you connect to WiFi hotspots with spaces in their SSIDs, such as "My Hotspot" or "WiFi Fo Fum".
Secondly, for some unexplainable reason, the R36 disconnects intermittently. Sometimes it stays connected for hours, but there are times it just disconnects after a few minutes. This doesn't happen when using the other WiFi routers I own that run for weeks or even months non-stop without hiccups.
I'm just hoping that these flaws could be resolved by future firmware updates. If not, this was just a complete waste of time and money.
UPDATE (11/04/2010):
I recently checked Alfa's website for firmware updates and I was elated to see a new R36 firmware released just last 11/02/2010. I immediately downloaded it and updated my R36's firmware and all my complaints above have been resolved. The control panel interface was also updated and reorganized, but the DHCP Clients list doesn't always work. I've been testing wireless connection stability by subjecting it to around 600 simultaneous incoming/outgoing connections, downloading multiple torrents on three laptops.
So far so good. I would give it a 5 star rating once I verify consistent stability for at least a week of continuous use and after Alfa gets to fix all minor interface bugs on the next firmware release.
UPDATE (12/03/2010):
After a month of rigorous use and testing, sadly, the R36 still has connection stability issues. It's a moody device. Sometimes it works fine. Then sometimes connections will intermittently drop, then reconnect. There are times while browsing, you will get broken/unloaded images, or a page would fail to load. You will then have to click on reload/refresh to load the page and images successfully, sometimes you need to do this twice or more. This is just very annoying. A major flaw that requires Alfa's serious consideration and attention.
Secondly, when paired with the AWUS036H, the site survey shows far fewer and weaker hot spots than when using the AWUS036H directly. Latency/ping response is also slightly better with a direct AWUS036H connection by 5ms to 10ms. I really wouldn't mind the small difference if only the R36 could maintain a stable and consistent wireless connection.
UPDATE (01/05/2011): 0 out of 5 stars
As of today, my R36 is dead. No power. No nothing. It's not even 3 months old. This is a complete waste of money. Look for a better router. Don't buy this!

NETGEAR 3G Mobile Broadband Router (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This replaces an older Netgear wireless router at my house. The setup was easy and worked the first try. It identified and connected to my Verizon usb727 mobile broadband card without problem. Now all my equipment has internet access.
Note that the included usb cable seems to be required for the broadband card to work. Plugging the card directly into the router powered the card, but the router reported that no usb device was plugged in.

Kyocera KR2 Mobile Router - Wireless router - 4-port switch - 802.11b/g/n (draft) - desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Received the KR-2 today (ordered same day it went up for sale). I have been using a Kyocera KR-1 for two years. The performance of the KR-1 was poor (at best). The Wi-Fi signal was very weak, and both the EV-DO and Wi-Fi connections would come and go as the KR-1 saw fit. I am not sure if it was caused by the KR-1 or was simply a defective EV-DO card, but my first EV-DO card got smoked and had to be replaced. I have been waiting for the KR-2 to become available since it was announced last fall.
Set up is extremely simple: open box, insert your EV-DO card, apply power. The first thing I noticed is that the KR-2 is ready for use in seconds, versus 1-2 minutes for the KR-1. I followed the directions once I had internet access (browse to http://192.168.0.1) and enter admin password. From there, it is easy to set up Wi-Fi security level and internet access password (if desired).
That's it. Done. If you have a Sprint EV-DO card (PC Card, USB, or Express card), this is the way to go. The service is cheaper than Comcast broadband and you can take it with you where ever.
UPDATE: May 27, 2009. Been using the KR-2 for about 14 months. The wi-fi feature has grown un-reliable (same as happened to my KR-1). Am pretty much only able to use the KR-2 by running a ethernet jumper between it and my notebook computer.

Mobile Broadband N Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently was in the market for wireless router to use in extending my Clear WiMax 4G connection to devices that did not support the USB modem I purchased. The USB modem works great for my Windows laptop, but did not work for my older Mac, Wii or Netflix enabled Blu Ray player.
I thought about getting the router directly from Clear, but the device they offer had features I didn't need or want to pay for most notably the ability to run on batteries.
I eventually settled on the CradlePoint MBR 900 because:
It supports the Clear WiMax USB 4G modem
It supports wired connections, which is what I needed for my BluRay player for Netflix
It supports 802.X wireless connections which is what I needed for the Wii and older Mac
It has the needed security features (authentication and encryption
I received the device about a week after ordering it. It was easy to set up with one major issue, configuring the device for Clear WiMax 4G, which required a call to their support staff to resolve.

Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router - Wireless router - 4-port switch - 802.11b/g - desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing this review just to inform people with Verizon wireless service, using the Verizon USB720 (Novatel U720) modem to be aware of possibly compatibility problems. The situation is pretty simple. When my modem is plugged directly into my laptop, it works almost 100% of the time. When I plug it into the KR1 router, it freezes up every few minutes. When this happens, there is no connection or IP address listed on the "status" page. This freezing occurs until I unplug the router or sometimes after 5 to 10 minutes it fixes itself. It is just not usable this way. Kyocera replaced the router under warranty and the problem is exactly the same. I did upgrade the firmware on both routers. This matter was escalated to D-Link support and they were unable to fix the problem. They are now looking into getting me a different model of router to resolve this. The U720 modem is new, so hopefully they will work the bugs out, but I wanted to make sure this information was available to other buyers. Both Kyocera and Verizon assured me the two units were compatible before I purchased them. I am now locked into a contract with Verizon without a working router and I wouldn't have done that if I'd known of this situation.

Zoom 3G WiFi Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Zoom 3G Wireless Router Model 4501 for USB Modems (identified here at Amazon as 11N 3Ghz Wifi Router) ranks right up there with sliced bread and canned beer as a world-class idea. This is a dynamite product at a fair price. But, before I review the router, let me describe the situation it rectified so well.
I live in the boondocks where either high-speed telephone or cable connection to the internet is not an option. My phone lines are buried underground, resulting in connection quality that barely allows 28,800 modem connections on the best days.
This problem was solved when I subscribed to Verizon's mobile broadband service and plugged their Pantech USB modem into my computer. (Verizon was the only supplier with 3G coverage where I live.) Download speed often approaches 3000 kpbs, with 1700-2000 about the norm. I couldn't be happier.
Except for one problem. With the USB modem plugged into my laptop, my wife couldn't use her desktop for internet access. So, I'd log off and give her the modem to plug in so she could log on.
I had seen USB modem routers at Best Buy for about $200. My inconvenience wasn't worth that much. But when I spotted the Model 4501 for about $70, I thought it was worth a try.
To make a long story short, when it arrived I took it out of the box, plugged it in, plugged my USB modem into the back, and turned on my laptop. No setup; I didn't read a word of the instructions. And it worked perfectly. I was on line.
At the time I ordered the router I also purchased a Zoom Wireless 802.11 B/G USB Adapter. (It made sense to keep a family together.) This I installed in my wife's desktop. Just like that, she was on line too. {{http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-802-11B-Adapter-Wifi-Support/dp/B00195HS1O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1265567922&sr=8-3}}
We've been using the USB Modem/WiFi connection for three weeks now. I've never been dropped from the network and there's been no degradation in performance from when the USB modem is plugged directly into the computer. (I check my connect speed regularly with Speed Test at [...]) I've used my Asus laptop and Samsung netbook in my office over my garage, which is more than 100 feet from my house. No problems.
I will set up security one of these days. But since I have no neighbors living within broadcast range of the router, I'm not terribly concerned.
This is a great product at a great price. I couldn't be happier.

Aluratek 3G Portable Wireless USB Cellular Router Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being an "IT" guy I see gadgets and new stuff all the time. Frankly a lot of it is junk or simply an infatuation with the latest thing. This however turns out to be a useful tool if you need portable, high speed connectivity and happen to have a USB 3G card. I needed something for mobile connectivity in to work. Within 15 minutes of getting the Aluratek I had exactly that, and it worked perfectly with my client based VPN. Even when in a moving vehicle!
There aren't a lot of frills, its pretty much a simple firewall with the ability to utilize 3G cards for Internet access. One really nice feature with this cellular router versus another brand I also considered is the addition of a battery, as it opens a lot of possibilities and flexibility.
The price is right and since its a simple device that didn't require hours of tinkering or fussing.
2010-10-05 Follow up: Turns out that after figuring out how to update the device firmware, it also tethers very nicely with my Blackberry Curve 8530 simply by plugging it into the USB slot with the Blackberry cable. In fact the access was consistent faster via my Sprint USB stick (both are via Sprint). The firmware was not hard to find if you Google the Zalip CDM530AM.
There are times when the unit may not be quite as strong on signal strength as I would like, it must default to 25% wifi signal when running off of battery and resetting it higher requires a router reboot. In spite of that I kept the rating at five stars due to ease of use and overall reliability. The unit fits into a small pocket of a computer bag and is easy to carry with you. The battery lasts at least several hours and that's sufficient for most purposes, and not much worse than my Blackberry 8530 when using it via bluetooth tethering.
