3G Router Help

There is conflicting seller information:

VODACOM, MTN, CELL C, 8TA, VIRGIN ETC
Huawei E352U Modem Specifications
◦HSDPA/UMTS  1900/2100MHz

Because it is 1900MHz, not 900MHz, it is not compatible with Cell C. But it will work fine with all other networks (using 2100MHz band).
Modems E3xx series sold by 8ta and MTN are U2 version: UMTS 900/2100MHz

Thanx, will confirm with the seller the specs...

You best option here is to use a USB hub.

Connect your phone via the USB hub and then route any computer to the hub.

Firmware and compatibility can be a mission to resolve.

Thanx, will confirm with the seller the specs...

The seller confirmed that the specs he has are correct. So with this in mind, I just want to confirm that this modem will work fine for Vodacom, MTN & 8ta, however CellC will not work?

It will work with Cell C, but only 2G (not 3G). Be warned that 2G on Cell C sucks...

The Seller informed me later that the specs is as follows:
2G: 900/1800
3G: 900/1900/2100

So I'm assuming that it will work on all networks in 3G mode...I am going to mainly use the connection with 8ta, so I think I should be fine...Hopefully 8ta don't stop selling their R149 a month special

Fine, they found another modem.
Just to be sure ask seller to write down what is exactly written inside SIM compartment. On the ad it was E352U (1900/2100MHz). Locally sold modems are E352U2 (900/2100MHz).
Seller claims it is two bands on 2G. I am sure it is wrong, as all these modems are four bands on 2G. But three bands on UMTS is possible. Point is that I don't trust this information.

This is what is on the box:
HSPA+ 14.4mbps
HSUPA 5.76 mbps
UMTS 2100/900mhz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE
850/900/1800/1900
Micro SD Card Slot(32GB)

[sajunky]

So it is not three bands UMTS? This is third version...

Ok, This one will be fine.

Bought the modem, and so far it's working fine Haven't tested the maximum speed yet though...
Thanx for everyone's help
