I recently got an Huawei EC168 air card from Alltel and now I'm looking for a compatible router. Anyone know of one that will work for me?

Thanks.

thus far, no router works with the EC168 and nobody knows for sure IF or WHEN there might be a router that will support it.

if you must share connection via a router, get the alltel UM175 and then get one of these http://3gstore.com/cradlepoint

I tried a UM175 initially but it crashed Windows. Contacted Alltel tech support and was told to return it and get a different card. Tech said there was a known problem with UM175 and some versions Windows. He also said that they had no idea as to if/when a solution would be available...so I got the EC168. I'm running Windows with SP2 and the latest BIOS.

I bought the CradlePoint MBR 1000, only to find that it won't work yet with my Alltel EC168. I contacted CradlePoint, and they are projecting a date of April 2009 for when their firmware will be updated to support the EC 168.

my ec228 bit the dust under warranty so they gave me an ec168, it is compatable with a * router but you must download the latest firmware form *.

i am still looking for a wireless router for my ec168 card. I have contacted alltel because i have found linksys routers that are made for sprint and tmobile that have the usb port built in. They told me that as long as it has the usb port u can use it whatever service you have. Can anyone confirm this so i can not waste my money.
