finally ordered myself afrihost mobile, can't wait to get started! but i have one obstacle i have to cross and that is getting router with usb port that is going to be compatible with the afrihost usb stick device, and must have lan/wan and of course must be wireless, quick search i came across the TP-Link TL-MR3420 3G/4G Wireless N Router (http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?products_id=141134). whats you guys thought on this? from what I can see this is going to work for what I want to do, correct?
 
Yes, it should do what you want. The TP-Link MR3420 v2 has worked with every Huawei modem I've thrown at it, including one HiLink. Use the latest firmware from here.
 
great stuff! tp link it is. thanks 1geoff99! :)
 
quick one.. you think its also going to work with iBurst USB modem?
 
hahaha because its iburst or because you know it?
 
You could always ditch the USB stick and get a B593 LTE router? Do you actually travel around with the USB stick? I'm surprised Afrihost aren't supplying these yet.
 
Was expecting answer like "because its iburst", thank you! Was just thinking IF I maybe want to use my leftover data on iBurst contract.

Getting my new TP link access point today, will test it tonight and let you guys know.
