is tehre a WiFi router to be used with a USB dongle?

Doublespresso · 2009-06-16 17:08:32

I have a USB dongle (with a SIM) for light internet access, but I want to connect to it a small netowrk. (say network consists of 2 laptops, a PC and a WiFi Printer) Is there a "cheap" router that can do the job? thanks

Look for 3g routers, for example Linksys WRT54G3G, a Netgear one, Globesurfer, CradlePoint and others

Some take a plug in data card, some (e.g. the Globesurfer III) you just put the SIM in; probably some take a USB stick

A few months ago, the Linksys one kept coming up on ebay for about £70-80, but none just at the moment. The Globesurfer goes for £150-200 on there, but rarer. Try saving some searches for a few of these
