I'm anticipating Neotel to improve their data packages and if this happens, I would like to get a router for my Huawei EC168C modem.

Does anyone have any experience with this router?

I want to use it with my NeoGo EC168C modem which seems to be supported.

It supports the ZTE MF668 modem from Cell C as well & if Neotel don't come to the party soon, I might go this route.

It is available at Take 2 for R967.

There is also the Dovado Router, but it is a bit more expensive.

Comment to note: NO LONGER SUPPORTED - THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION

Are there any other routers that will work on the UMTS/HSPA, WCDMA (HSDPA), CDMA2000 (EV-DO) networks?
 
I bought the TP-Link MR3420 Wireless N 3G Router from Uniterm Direct. I am trying to get the Neotel Huawei EC168C modem to work with the router but no luck. In the list of supported modems the EC168C is in the list, but my problem is that the router connects 100% and then just as quickly disconnect again.

Any idea on what is wrong? I have updated the router with the latest software.
 
Is this router compatible with the Huawei E367 dongle???
