Guys remember that if its working avoid updating firmware. Check the changelog first. This rule pretty much applies for all computer related stuff. If it not broken avoid fixing it.

This mostly seems like some additional modems support update so I wouldn't bother if your modem works

Sigh Cell_C Why didn't you guys just offer the router instead of the E1820 (in the 60 GB bundle) maybe increasing the offer by a few hundred rands to absorb the cost?

I guess it wouldn't appeal to everyone. I can't imagine my mum trying to make head or tails of this thing - would probably end up with a non-password setup and have the whole neighbourhood leeching her connection lol
Maybe once they start getting it in stock, it can be offered as an either/or with their currect modem packages

Must agree - router is not for your average user Would be nice as an addition to a package - outright purchase is also ok

My understanding is the D105 is a wireless router with a USB port, not a 3G router that takes a SIM card, so you'll still need a USB modem like the E1820.

If that's the case then what you want is the Huawei E585.

You totally right. I prefer a router that takes a USB modem because then you can quickly pull the modem out and take it with you when needed
