I enquired at 2 CNA and 2 Edgars stores about this modem and at all of them the sales person stared at me and none of them had a clue what I was talking about....they never heard of it.
Some of the CNA and Edgars sales people do not even know what t 3G modem is never mind the Whizzyy.
It is now avalable at Hi-Fi Corp. Would you mind telling me at which CNA and Edgars you enquired?

What about the K4510-Z?
I see this gadget is available at HiFi Corp for R399. Two things bug me:
* 4 hrs battery life. My EDUP 9501N uses a standard Nokia BL-5C battery (1020mAh) and I get a max of one hour usage per battery with my k-3565z modem. The Whizzyy has an 1800mAh battery, I seriously doubt it will hit anywhere close to 4hrs, especially if you have 20 active connections;
* with that 1800mAh battery it certainly won't be very effective as a power bank with either my Note 1 or Nexus 7...
Fact that it has internal battery is a big plus when working with 3G modems. You won't have power delivery problems, so many modems not working properly with other routers should work nicely here. I like this gadget and considering price I would buy it.

I've got a couple of questions:
1) Is the ZTE MF190 Modem supported?
2) What is the latest firmware (where can I download)?
3) Where can one get more technical info? I assume this is an oem product based on the RT2880 chipset?
I'm asking about the ZTE modem because it would seem that the router does recognize the modem, but it never connects? I've tried manual APN settings and a longer timeout.
What else can I try?

Can you post a link to the firmware and Linux source code? Can you also post a list of confirmed models/chipsets that work with the router?

Take out the modem. Turn on router and wait for the light to flash blue. Insert the modem, see what happens. Let me know if that works.
