Which 3G/EVDO Router Is Best?

Several times each day, the EVDO Experts at http://3gstore.com are asked to explain the differences between the seven 3G/EVDO/HSPA cellular routers that we sell and support.

We've finally made the time to collect our thoughts and compiled them into one article we can point our customers too. Enjoy!

"Which 3G Router Is Best For Me?"

these aren't ALL the routers we've ever tested. just what exist at dallas test facility.

some folks will claim the article as biased because it only represents the routers we sell. thing is, we have tested far more routers than we are selling. only the best get to be sold and supported by 3Gstore!

I have had the most basic of the routers , the ctr 350 and I havn't had any issues at all with it . It is simple but effective and most of all it is reasonable in cost. On another note and sorry to be off topic but I would just like to thank you ladies and gents at the 3gstore for being great people and great at what you do.. I have been dealing with you all since you were booster antenna.com and you have grown rather large in the last few years but have not forgot all the little people that ask for your advice and help. It is greatly appriciated that you still have time for each and every person that orders from 3gstore. I wish the 3gstaff a Merry Christmas and a very Happy and prosperous New Year.!!!

Indeed, the article was very good!

I too had been a booster antenna.com customer / now a 3Gstore.com customer. I have to say as the last fellow said, they are tops!

Sorry for being a newbie,

Any of these modem or adapter locked to certain supplier in a hard way. Or it's just signal standard suits some source better than others.

Thanks

your post is confusing. are you asking if the ROUTERS (the subject of this thread) are locked to carriers?

if thats your question, then only the idiotic linksys routers are.

the superior routers are not. like these: http://3gstore.com/cradlepoint

I work for a large company that graciously allows me to work from home and have been doing so for that past 1 1/2 years. They provided me with a Sprint EX720 card and a Linksys WRT54G3G-ST router that connected to my work station via an ethernet cable. I've been using this setup for over a year and it has worked fine. Could be better at times, but overall its been ok.

Today I am informed that my company has sign an exclusive contract with AT&T for wireless services and that I will be getting an AT&T GT Ultra Express card to replace my Sprint card. I know my current router is not compatible, and they have left it up to me to find a new router.

So my question is, what do you recommend for a router? Is the Cradlepoint MBR-1000 the best choice?

Thanks

Thanks Alex,

Unfortunately, switching cards isn't an option. I work for Boeing, and all the hardware is selected by our Cellular Device Management Systems group. They decide what we get to use and this card is my only choice.

I'm wondering what information you may have on the NetGear 3G router ?

I've been using a Dlink DIR-450, and I don't know whether it is the router, the PCMCIA card, or marginal coverage, but I consider it less than satisfactory. Considering a change.

Also wondering why none of the routers will work on the T-Mobile 3G network ? If a USB device can be used with a notebook computer, then even if there is custom software used to enable it, I'd think the routers could emulate the software.
