Can anyone confirm that this device works on the router? I don't see the compatability on their website.
 
Update: I currently have the MR3020 with my server plugged into its LAN port copying files to phone. Getting speeds of 2+ megabytes per second in a +/-5m radius. This is while it's also in wisp mode connected to a WiFi hotshot for internet connectivity. I've done the a software update and has improved stability drastically.

Edit: Power is via server USB port. Above speeds achieved through walls and other obstacles. Will probably work well with a Raspberry Pi mini server configuration.

I messed around with Open WRT but didn't like it. It disabled the toggle switch on the side and was complicated to use.

Totally forgot about this though. Will check it out.

If I remember correctly there is a way of programming the switches and buttons to your bidding. Will check when I get back to SA
 
I am looking for something like that Wireless 3G TP-Link router.
How much do those go for?

It must support all the SIM card sizes.

The Mr 3020 uses an addon 3/4g dongle.
You are probably looking for something like the M5350 . That's what I am using where I am at the moment.

I dunno, I think the big one. But you can get adapters for different sizes..e.g. Buy a 0.99c Telkom dual sim and snap out the micro sim. I use that as my normal to micro. I have another one from UK (giffgaff) that does nano to micro that they mailed to me for free.
 
Cell C new prepaid SIM 99c (a blue one) has a cuts for both micro and nano sizes.
