Acer Iconia A500 tab

[nadeem_k]

Hi

I bought the A500 and I'm looking for a portable way to connect to the net.
Will the tablet be able to use a 3g dongle since it has a USB port?

I was also looking at some portable wifi routers like the TL-MR3020. As anyone used it?
Will the USB port be able to supply enough power to the router?

you can indeed use a 3G dongle on the usb port.
i'm not sure if you can from the standard rom, but 2 place to visit first are:

good luck
i have one and am very happy with it

also if/when required, i.e. when i don't have wifi, i set my phone or my laptop (at work) as a wifi router to share the connection

I have the same tablet and I share my cellphone's internet connection via wifi.

Using a Novatel MiFi router with my A500. I use the USB port to power the router when the battery is low on the router, via modified cable.
