    Help in finding the right MiFi modem

    I am looking for a MiFi modem with optional LAN input so that I can create a WiFi network from either my SIM card (not 3G dongle) or my wired Internet connect. Does such a device exist? All I'm seeing are 3G routers with Ethernet ports but not not dongle-less MiFi with optional LAN input. Thanks.
