3G/HSPDA Wireless Router

[quax]

Hi guys,

I'm looking into a wirleless router to support a 3G/HSPDA modem, I only have one desktop which would need to be connected via ethernet (two ports would be nice but it is not a neccessity). I saw this one from Kalahari which interested me

I also saw this one but I dunno if I like it too much

What are you guys using?

I use the dlink one from telkom,its has decent wifi signal and can do adsl when you need it,goes for around R600 at any telkom shop.

D-Link DSL-2750U is the model number comes with four ethernet ports also.

Thanks. I'll check that model out. I actually just need the router for 3G so if I can get a solution that can just take the sim without the need for a modem that would be great, I'd assume this would be a bit cheaper but I can't find any of these on takealot or kalahari.

Question is, what modems it supports?

Routers with build-in modems seem expensive.

Have a look at UnitermDirect for some more options. myBB members get discount too

I'm not sure yet still need to get one. But I am looking intoTelkom Mobile.

The few that I came across also seemed rather pricy, I would have thought that a router with a built in modem would be cheaper than buying the two seperately. Anyhow, thanks for the link I will most def check it out!

The telkom one supports all the telkom modems as far as i know,i have used my huawei 8ta modem on mine and its working fine although these days you may wanna get a 21/42mbps modem to get better speeds.

I can get hold of Telkom router, it is the Siemens Giga 762SX https://business.telkom.co.za/enterprise/equipment-devices/data-equipment/modems/siemens/index.html

It has a USB port but not sure if it supports a 3G modem. Does anyone perhaps know? Another thing is the power supply is busted so will have to try and get a replacement somewhere, I hope the Telkom stores stock replacements.

I was just thinking, if the router does not support a 3G modem, can I not just share the connection from my desktop to the router?

A friend of mine bought this router and says it works very well with his 3G dongle
