 Fantastic October 26, 2008
I am new to routers since we have never really been able to get good internet in my area. We got a wireless broadband card and it was limited to just surfing the web. I don't travel much and the only reason I got this router from the 3g store was the great customer service that I would probably need. I actually only had to call once and that was it I got the hand of using it pretty fast. I have my PS3 hooked to it wireless and my 360 with an ethernet cable. The downside for me is not being able to check my usage with the software for my card so I have to go to the providers website to check every couple days to be sure I don't use to much.
It doesn't happen often I have had problems of becoming disconnected from the internet and having to unplug and plugging it back in the wall sometimes for about 30 minutes to get reconnected. Sometimes I can just unhook the ethernet from it and it reconnects but that is basically the only problem I have. I use it with my desktop since like I said I don't really travel.
Since I am new to using routers I can only say from my experience it was pretty easy to use.
Share the Love August 18, 2008
In a word: Awesome!
This device allows one to share your wireless connection and it works like a charm. All you do is plug your modem in and it does the rest.
I have not tested it's range but I'm able to access the connection from anywhere in my home. I read reviews that stated it's range was poor and that was simply not true. I use my wireless as my sole Internet Service Provider (ISP) and had some disconnect issues. Cradlepoint's technology resolved that issue for me. My understanding is that It constantly pings the tower so it reduces the time one gets bumped.
The only thing I observed is that the device seems to get hot. I always have fans running so it is not an issue for me but that may be something to keep in mind.
My final thought is that this a must have device for anyone who has wireless internet service.
 Disappointed August 5, 2008

It goes to local internet alot and the speed of it is a little slow. Sometimes it doesn't register my usb modem and it'll go to the cradlepoint website. I disconnects my usb modem from the router and connect it directly to my laptop and it'll work just fine. I'm a little disappointed in the product.
Best wifi router installation experience July 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I travel quite a bit for work and I got this router to share my Verizon EVDO RevA card between my laptop and UMA VoIP phone. It works great. In less than 10 minutes from opening the box I was up and running.
decent router, works with nokia 3555 and T-Mobile 3G June 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
though the support site doesn't mention it works with T-Mobile 3G, it does
on advanced-mobem setting, there's a box where you can put AT command that you can specify which APN you use, then use these commands
AT
AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,"(YOUR APN)"
ATDT*99#
it also works with nokia 3555 and Bandrich 3G card for T-mobile (from stelerawireless.com), you have to have microUSB cable and need to use nokia mode with 3555
this is the best solution to tether data card with other wifi based device (tried LocPlayer on PSP with T-Mobile HSDPA), and works well
however, it has some speed hit when using this router, the speed drops around 30% when going through this router
some newer model express cards and SE phones don't work with this router
a side note: you can modify PSP external battery with compatible DC plug to make it 100% portable, the external battery can provide an hour of continuous streaming
