Manufacturer's Description
The Linksys Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. The Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a 3G/UMTS or GPRS Internet connection (requires Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/UMTS data card, available separately). You can also use a standard Ethernet attached Internet connection, like a cable or DSL modem, if available.Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing document files, a printer, storage space, and other resources.To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband can encode all wireless LAN transmissions with WEP or industrial-strength WPA Personal encryption. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. With the Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband, you can create a secure wireless network with Internet connectivity, anywhere that 3G/UMTS or GPRS service is available.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 1.0 out of 5 stars DOes not work with latest Vodafone data card, 7 Aug 2006 By  Martin "Martin" (UK) - See all my reviews This item is advertised as working with Vodafone's data cards. In fact, Linksys have teamed up with Vodafone with this product and Vodafone's logo is all over the instruction leaflet and installation screens. Whilst I am sure that this router did work with Vodafone at one point or other, it does not work with the Hauwei E620 card. Unfortunately, the Hauwei E620 is Vodafone's latest card of choice, so this router does not work with Vodafone at all. I have no choice but to return this item, which is a great shame.

This card was very popular a a year or two ago. Unfortunately the linksys router does not work with that card either and when I called tech support they said it only works with three brands and customers should call Vodaphone and get them to ship a compatible card. On doing that, Vodaphone said they could sell me one for £250. Rubbish product I would say and ugly as sin. What a pain now I have to return it.

Well what can I say, it has been nothing but superb. I can power it up in hotel rooms, friends houses, and companies I visit, to get broadband access without the hassle of asking to plug into other peoples networks, and the hell of getting things configured. I too have a Huawei card from Vodafone, but I downloaded the update from Linksys, and it works just fine. Of course, since it's a router with built in wifi, I can share the broadband connection with several colleagues. We can swap files and emails, and work just like we are on the office network. I can't recommend this more highly, I'd give it 7 stars if I could. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
